The importance of form.

It really is vital to get your form down when lifting weights. Even on a machine that isolates a small muscle like the bicep, the seat height changes your leverage. Too high and your not getting a full range of motion, and by doing so your not hitting all the muscle fiber's and not getting the growth in them. Too low and you are stressing the joint, possibly risking injury. With free weights the importance of form increases. Now you risk looking like an idiot and hurting yourself. If your not sure how to do an exercise, just ask the nearest big guy in the gym. Odds are he'll help you out and you might learn other tips from him. I would love to get some video's up here to demonstrate form, so i'll try to find some good free ones or make my own.
