You like to hit the weights, crank the music and find your zone in the weight room. Your zen is under load and reaching new limits in your workout by taking it to the max and building yourself at every step. Well, what if we told you that there are 4 workout mistakes you are making right now that are at the least limiting you if not hurting your body!? That's where we come in. First off if you haven't had the best coaching in the game you could be doing this for your whole lifting career and could be avoiding serious shoulder/back/and knee pain. Second, instead of just pointing the mistakes out we tell you the proper form for tricep pull downs, calf raises, bar shrugs, and box squats !!! It's not every day you find info like this that will help you become stronger without putting more pressure on your skeletal structure/mileage on your body.
When we lift our bodies always try to find the fastest and easiest motor pattern to engage your muscles to do the desired task or lift at any one time. It's how our bodies have come to be so efficient, this is what we know as the Law of Accommodation, but more in terms of the motor pattern. For example, when you are shrugging a bar do you lock your arms and only pull the weight with your shoulders or do you try and cheat your workout by engaging your elbows into the lift? Most of the population makes this mistake. You can lift more if you use more muscle groups, and that's the problem. By using your forearms and biceps you are not isolating your upper back which pushes your body forward and eliminates most of the benefits of the shrug. So you need to stop doing this and relearn these lifts and be sure to do them correctly!!!
Calf raises are a little different when raising and lowering we tend to use the stretch reflex in our leg muscles because that's what we're designed to do as athletes! Our Achilles tendon springs our bodies up when running, jumping, and even lifting. It's what gives us great speed and sustained power output. What if we told you this was the worst way to do a calf raise??? Lifting more faster is bad you say? Yeah, sometimes it is if you are looking to gain muscle. If you slow down the tempo and force the body to lift and lower the weight on its own without the benefit of the Achilles then you are increasing muscle hypertrophy in all the right ways!!! Now this isn't to say doing speed work is a bad thing but if you've been bouncing on the transition from eccentric vs concentric movements you are not gaining muscle and we don't want your gains to stop. That's why they're called gains because you need to see small improvements on your journey to the weight lifting gods!
