How-to Stop Going Through the Motions of Bodybuilding
Bodybuilding is pointless when the exercises and movements are executed slovenly. It looks like a lazy person is trying to get their exercise edge on like a sloppy Joe. When the body is hunched over it’s almost impossible for the muscles to derive the benefits of exercise. More importantly, improper forms, sloppy lifting and poor posture are the leading causes of injuries in the joints, back and muscles.

A common sloppy Joe move is when someone does the standing fly with the upper body almost perpendicular to the legs - leaning forward. Aside from the slovenly way the lift look, it may pose significant risk to the back because it should not ever to over extended or flexed. The reason many personal trainers discourage this form is because the exercise requires maintaining balance, as a result, the muscles of the back are contracted which can over load and stress out the back.

To avoid the propensity of a sloppy form, executes the lifting motions with some type for support for the back. To adjust, lie on the stomach or back during weight training exercises like the standing fly. To circumvent the tendency of bending over while performing standing movements, slightly bend your knees.

Another way to turn a simple work-out into a severe injury is when people strain the neck during crunches. The key to performing crunches appropriately is to focus on using the muscles of the abdomen opposed to using the neck to elevate the head. The popular exercise error can trigger a painful neck strain. To avoid the temptation of using the neck to perform crunches place the arms in front of the chest while holding the head, neck and torso in perfect alignment.
