Where did you learn lifting technique?

[cephissus]

How did you learn to squat, deadlift, bench?  You always see people talking about splits, sets/reps, exercise selection, etc. etc. but no one ever talks about technique (at least in the bodybuilding world).

Watched someone do it then just copied them. My technique form get better as I lifted more.

Then sometimes I use sloppier form because I find it works better.

A powerlifter named John Pezotte taught me how to lift when I was younger.

He benched 510 officially,squatted 650,and deadlifted 650 back in 1974.

Trial and error for the most part.When I got a bit stronger and was comfortable, I asked other real lifters and coaches to correct anything that was sloppy or could be done better. Within reason, I think one of the best things you can do starting out, is not worry about coach xzy, or lifting technique abc, just buy a barbell an screw around with it.

started at a small gym, the owner would watch you and correct your technique, then went to an olympic lifting club and had a coach

[Coach is Back!]

My high school coach when I first started training. To this day he's one of the few coaches who knew proper technique. 30 years after graduating HS, we still keep in touch.

I taught myself from reading all of the books I could buy and find.

This and a mag or book along the way.

i notice the more trainings experience i get the better i know how to work the muscles the better the results are, the begin years all i did was getting the weight up and down.

some reps i do sloppy on purpose to do a heavier weight but in that same set i can change from the sloppy form to a lower weight and to using a perfect technique and sqeezing.

[burn2live]

Friends, personal trainers, training partners, the internet... and still learning

Trial and error combined with The Internet.

My dad was a powerlifter, and had me in the gym with his crew at 13 years old.

I learned from some serious mofos at a very young age
