I was in Jack’s Gym this evening training one of my superstar clients, down in the main gym area. It is always interesting seeing how some of the guys in there train, I look at the physiques and wonder where they got their training programs from and where they learnt their exercise form!
There is a really good reason why, myself and my coaches are very particular with movement patterns and correct muscle engagement, we never give our clients a weight until they can demonstrate good technique and control, bodyweight exercises are essential for any one starting a new training routine.
Now I wish I had been quicker on my camera to catch this guy training but it was simply the worst deadlift form I had ever seen, so I did a quick search on Youtube and found something pretty close to what this guy was doing… The main difference was the guy was lifting 140kg plus with a lower back so rounded you could see the vertebrae sticking out through his shirt! It was quite painful to watch and just wonder what state his back is in after each session.
If you want to learn good technique for a deadlift, which just happens to be one of the most effective exercise for fat loss and all body strength, I will film and post a video tomorrow on how we get everyone to deadlift safely and effectively.
Are there any other exercises you want to see being demonstrated? Leave a comment below and we’ll get the cameras just for you.
About Tim
I’d like to see how a push-up is done correctly. At what angle the arms should be and all that…Thnx Tim.
Wow, that is really bad. He could seriously hurt his back doing that. Training should make you feel better instead of giving you more problems.
Thanks for sharing!
