Good form does not mean just following
precise instructions of experts who can tell you exactly the best way to
isolate the muscle you are exercising.
It also means feeling the weight as you lift it, listening to your own
body, and making slight adjustments to the motion based on how it feels to you,
to find the motion that is just right for you.
Every individual is different.
It is impossible to discover the best motion
for your body if you always use heavy weights.
A good idea is to do a warm-up set of 20 reps with almost no weight just
to get the feel of the exercise.
I hesitate to even call it
"weightlifting" because that name calls attention to the weights
themselves. I would prefer to use the
term "pumping" because that should be the focus, pumping
nutrient-carrying blood through the muscles.
It might look like you are working out too
easy, but by following a consistent program of lifting light weights with both
concentric and eccentric stress (as explained later) you will be building a
strong foundation for increased size, strength and endurance of your muscles.
While in general it has been shown that
strength is proportional to cross-sectional muscle area, there is more to it
than that. A strong cardiovascular
system, developed from a combination of slow running and continual flushes of
blood circulation to even the smallest capillaries during good pumping
workouts, is a great ally when it comes to muscular endurance.
