I watched a guy at the gym today doing deadlifts, which is always nice to see because the deadlift is one of the best exercises ever yet few people do it because it's hard.
This guy loaded up the bar, too, which made it even more impressive. Then I watched his form. It was terrible. He rounded his low back every single time and did so in a major way. In no time he'll have a low-back injury.
What was more worrisome was that not one gym trainer talked to him about it.
For me, it drove home once again the importance of form. Sure, I'd like to be able to load up the bar too but I'd rather be able to do the exercise correctly -- you get more out of it if you do that.
