I'm talking about the guys bouncing barbells off their chest, and guys doing standing arm curls by trying to throw their back out. Basically people just flailing about trying to lift as much weight as they can, technique be damned. I'll be the first to admit that I don't have perfect technique, but I do sacrifice the amount of weight I lift, in order to try and lift it properly. |
Technique really doesn't matter as long as you're working your muscles. Everyone's body is NOT built the same so every machine or exercise isn't going to be optimal for every person. Additionally, lifting heavy weights builds muscle extremely well. If you want to build big bulky muscles then you need to exhaust your muscles through low repetitions and you do that by lifting the heaviest weights you can till exhaustion. Whatever strains your muscles the most without damaging your ligaments and tendons is what you want to do.
