I don't want to shit on Grape Ape too much - he advised me on how to do a chest program that helped me stop my front delts from eating away most of my chest gains. My chest is going to be a weakness for me no matter what, but he was right about how to adjust my training.
My chest has marginally improved since then, but still sucks.
However, this:
LOL.
I wouldn't consider this "perfect form" by any means, but when you are that strong, I don't think it matters:
When I get to the 110-lb dumbbells in a few weeks, hopefully everyone will STFU about my marginally insufficient depth.
Although to be fair...Grape later clarified he meant Eddie's form was perfect to achieve constant tension. However, my POINT is, very few lifters use better form than I do on overhead presses.
I'm just saying - my form isn't THAT bad.
And as you said, pamith - it really is about just doing it. Our form should be good enough to prevent injury, but need not be perfect.
People get bogged down in the minutiae of all of it, when they should really JUST DO IT, as you alluded to.
Great post, pamith.
People shitting on the World's Strongest Man in the comments:
Yes, exactly, when you look at the most massive bodybuilders ever, Branch, Ronnie, Bertil Fox, etc, they all have one thing in common, they all trained with sloppy form, strict ''perfect'' form has it's place too, but sometimes you gotta just go crazy, lift heavy with sloppy form and go freaking nuts, for optimal growth
