Exotic is Erotic...
IMO-no matter How Light the weights are or how heavy the weights are. Isn't proper form and control of the weight needed?
I have had a Personal Trainer working with me since Oct. We meet up for 1 hr, 3 times a month.
I am currently in a Phase of Training where I am suppose to be Maxing out my weights.
This Weeks Sets are (5 sets of 5 reps) and tempo is Fast as I can. When my Trainer is trying to show me (IMO just trying to show off) how to perform the exercise.
(example Leg Extension)
He looks like he is getting an electrical shock treatment, his form is horrible and looks like half his body raises up, and he is jerking his body when trying to complete the movement.
He said he doesn't care how I lift it as long as I complete the sets/reps.
To me it looks like it would cause more Bad (injury wise) then good.
Maybe it's my lack of knowledge (I don't normally lift my max- this is only my 3rd week in this phase) but I believe proper form/technique is important the entire time.
Please provide any input on this... I am Confused...
My Training partner thinks my personal trainer is a joke and doesn't know what he is doing. And at times I am feeling the same way, I am paying this dude to show me the correct ways to lift and to educate me and provide instructions on proper form on exercises I should be doing for the types of Events and Race I am trying to Strengthen my body for.
I don't know If I am just still a Newbie but when I observe others around me, they don't perform their lifts in the same manner.
