In today's post, I will be discussing this important subject and give you a better understanding of when to prioritize form and when to prioritize going to failure.
Importance of form!
- Lower the chance of injuries
- Simulate more the skill you want to learn (Muscle To Mind)
- All essential muscles are activated
When to continue without perfect form?
- As long as it does not increase the chance of injuries. eg front pull-ups, planche push-ups, normal pull-ups…
- Allows you to get closer to failure which a lot of time is preferred
- Most exercises that focus on strength and not muscle-to-mind connection are more suitable
Where to put the focus in the beginning?
- Understanding the skill and parts involved
- How to avoid injuries and overtraining
- Spend a lot of time in the movement
- Tweak the form to make it more perfect
