Period 7 Weight Training Blog #2 Standards

We are learning specific form in various lifts; many of the lifts have certain protocol to follow for the lifts to count.


For instance, in the squat, the rep does not count unless the hip joint is below the knee joint. In the bench press the bar must touch the chest for the rep to count. Also in the bench the spotter may not touch the bar or the rep does not count. In the push-press the arms must reach a lockout position. In the deadlift the hips and knees must lockout while maintaing a straight, athletic back.

Why are these standards and protocols important to our class?

Short turnaround time on this blog, it is due Monday Sept. 8th

This way we know good form and it helps more for our body. By keeping this form in our class we won't be hurt because of bad form. Bad form can probably cause problems that we will have later on.

Bad form does not help so there is no point in doing something when you do it wrongly because you wont get anything out of it.

You are cheating yourself out of a rep if you don't go all the way down in a squat or so on, and it can hurt you in the long run. It is best to do the lift correctly to get the best exercise, and the best results.

We have to follow those protocols in our training because that would not hurt certain parts of our body, and those protocols will give us the most efficient way to burn our bodies out. We have to work out in the right way.
