Almost every time I hit the gym, I will see someone with such bad form, it literally makes me grimace. Some exercises don’t pose a danger if form is incorrect ….they just yield lesser results. Others, however,can cause serious injury. Here are four that can put you in a world of hurt if you don’t do them properly.

Squats, Deadlifts, Bentover rows: Keep your abs tight and your back straight (in other words….NO HUNCHED SHOULDERS!) Of course if you want to blow out your back, you can continue pushing for heavier weight and poor form (not a good idea).

Leg Press: Knees should not get ahead of toes (make sure you move your feet high enough on the plate to accomplish this)

These four exercises are also some of the best for building muscle. If you don’t do so already, pay strict attention to your form the next time you do them.
