It's tempting to chase the number on the bar. But load is only useful if the movement underneath it is sound. Add weight to a compensation and you reinforce the compensation.
Form is a skill, not a checkbox
Every rep is a rep of something — either the movement you want, or the shortcut your body found. Quality reps compound. So do sloppy ones.
- Master the pattern at a load you can control
- Add weight only when the pattern holds
- Use feedback to catch drift before it becomes habit
Where AI helps
The hardest part of self-coaching is that you can't see yourself. A camera plus honest feedback closes that gap — you get the outside eye that lifters have relied on forever.
