Chances are you’ve been contorting your body in unnatural and uncomfortable ways for all but the first two years of your life, so don’t come to the gym and do the same thing. The more properly and efficiently you move, the better you will look. Improper movements can be dangerous, they can actually defeat the purpose of the exercise entirely, and they can merely be pointless wastes of energy.
You might be such a faithful gym-goer that even the cleaning staff knows you by name; but no matter how many sets and reps you log, if your workout isn't giving you the results you want, poor form could be to blame. Your body is engineered to move in precise ways. The wrong alignment—or even the wrong exercise altogether—doesn't just stunt sculpting; it can also stress the body, leading to injuries that derail your progress.
