Practice The Good Things

If you were a baseball player, you wouldn’t practice how to strike out, would you? Of course not. Well in the same way you don’t want to practice messing up in baseball, you don’t want to practice messing up your deadlift. If you do your deadlifts (or any lift, for that matter) with bad form, and you know it’s bad, you’re going in the wrong direction. So if you’re straining and fighting and you feel your back rounding over on that 5th rep, just stop. It doesn’t do you any good to practice the movement with bad form – we’re looking for practice with good form. Your progress will be better served by skipping the yucky reps. Remember this if a coach tells you to drop the bar – you’ll thank us later.
