Use Proper Form

Use Proper Form

There Are No Secret Methods, Just Correct Form. I know, it seems stupid that I'd have to say that, but I do. I think everyone on the planet is fully aware that proper form is not only important for the purpose of increasing muscle and getting the most out of each exercise, but it's also obviously important for safety. We all know this, right? However, despite knowing this I still see tons of people in the gym using terrible form for the sole purpose of lifting more weight. Why is this? They never hired a trainer to teach them the proper form.

My main goal is to adjust your body in order to get ready for higher levels of intensity. It is important that you understand that form is everything in weight lifting. You might have learned weight training techniques by watching friends or others in the gym. But sometimes what you see isn't safe. Incorrect weight training technique can lead to sprains, strains, fractures and other painful injuries that may hamper your weight training efforts. Poor form ultimately leads to injuries.

Being a Certified Personal Trainer, I specialize in not only showing you what exercises to do, but how to do them correctly for maximum benefits. If you do an exercise incorrectly, you are setting yourself up for a serious injury and making your workouts less productive. Slow, controlled movements should always be used.


Before you start building muscle, you will need to correct your form and balance. Do not get discouraged because this is something all weight lifters must do. Having correct form will save you alot of time and injuries.

Believe me, you need to establish correct form and balance before you start adding weight. If you start with bad form, you carry that form forward. When you start using heavy poundages, bad form will ultimately lead to inuries and bad joints.

I will teach you how not to jerk or bounce the weight around. As your personal trainer, I will be with you during all lifting. You will never need to ask for help while you are in the gym If you having trouble with certain exercises, I will be there to spot you. I will also be very helpful and will answer any questions you may have.

You must also remember to drink at least two 8 ounce glasses of water before starting your weight lifting routine and drink two to four glasses while working out.

I will suggest you follow the beginners weight lifting routine for 1 to 2 months before moving on. Remember, you want to establish correct form as opposed to moving heavy weight. Be patient, you will eventually start to pile on the plates but for now, think form.

I will also use a weight lifting log to record all aspects of your weight lifting. This will be very important in determining the success of your weight lifting routine. As you progress in your beginner weight lifting routines, I will add more free weight and compound movements to your program.


As your balance and form improves, we will add more sets and repetitions. Then I will also need to split your workouts into different body parts to allow for a more vigorous workout.
