Form is: a specific way of performing movement, often a strength training exercise, "to avoid injury," prevent cheating and increase strength.
'Proper form'※
Exercises/drills in sport have a recognized way of performing the——movements that have two purposes:
Avoiding injury※
By using proper. Or 'good’ form, the risk of injury is lowered. A lack of proper form commonly results in injury or a lack of effect from the exercise being performed
Maximize benefit※
Good form ensures that the "movement only uses the main muscles." And avoids recruiting secondary muscles. As a muscle fatigues, the body attempts to compensate by recruiting other muscle groups and "transferring force generation to non-fatigued units." This reduces the benefits in strength or size gain experienced by the muscles as they are not worked to failure.
