We've all seen that guy in the gym bench pressing a ton of weight with hardly any range of motion. Or the spotter that rips the weight off on every rep even when his help is completely not needed. Or the guy doing bicep curls looking like hes trying to do the limbo. Even though you mightve laughed at these guys and their terrible form, you may very well be making some serious mistakes yourself. Even if your mistakes arent as extreme a relatively minor deviation in your form can switch the focus of an exercise away from the muscles that you're trying to target making that exercise far less effective. Over the years of spending countless hours in the gym both as a full time trainer and while working out myself, Ive narrowed down this list to just 8 of the most common gym exercises that i see people getting wrong. And today I want to give you guys some minor tweaks to make all of these exercises far more effective so you can better target the muscles that your trying to work, allowing you to build more muscle and see faster results. So let's start with the lower body for our first exercise which is lunges. The biggest mistake that I see people of all different skill levels make with lunges is lunging with an almost overlapping stride position. What I mean is that people will lunge in a straight line putting one foot directly in line with the other like they're trying to do some complicated sobriety test. This is wrong you want to plant your feet a little less than hip width apart for every lunge. While lunges can help you develop better balance, the exercise itself should not be a balancing act so there's no need to practically cross your feet over with each lunge. Another mistake is taking steps too close together. When you take a small step and lunge with your feet too close together you're going to be making more of a triangle between your legs at the bottom of your lunge. Usually your knee will also wind up going past your toe or simply just going too far forward which will put excess stress on that knee. On the other hand when you do it right you're going to be making more of what looks like a rectangle shape in between your legs and your front knee wont be going past your toes. The last thing about lunges is that you shouldn't let your knee smash into the floor on every rep. You can definitely come down to the floor and lightly touch the floor with your knee as long as you do it in a controlled way. Dropping to your knee on the other hand not only can It harm your knee but it'll also take the tension off your legs at the bottom of every rep. Now moving on to an upper body exercise, we have dips on the parallel bars. First of all you shouldn't do dips on a bench. Since your hands are locked behind your back the exercise puts your shoulders in a very unnatural position that can cause impingement. Luckily with parallel bars we could do dips without the hands being behind the back, but even with regular dips on parallel bars there are still a lot of mistakes to address. First of all you shouldn't be doing partial reps like I see many people doing at the gym. If you can't do reps where you go all the way down until your upper arm is almost parallel with the ground then work on improving your tricep strength with other exercises. if you have an assisted pull-up machine or resistance bands you can use those to help you work through a full range of motion on dips as well. Not going low enough is a problem but going too low is also a problem, you shouldn't go lower than parallel with the floor. Otherwise you'll once again be placing a lot of stress on the shoulders. The other thing that people will do is flare their elbows out way too far. While you can flare your elbows out a little bit and lean forward to concentrate more on your chest you don't want to flare them out too far. And the last thing that a lot of people do wrong is they try to do dips perfectly vertical. Even if you're trying to concentrate on your triceps you'll be a lot better off leaning at least slightly forward with your chest in front of your hips on this exercise. Next up are dumbbell and barbell chest presses. The most common mistakes with these...

[@GravityTransformation]

Thanks for tuning in, hope you guys enjoy the video. One mistake that I do want to correct in this video is with skull crushers. You can in fact go behind the head with this exercise as long as you're doing it in a controlled way without using the momentum from your lats. The same points still apply though, make sure you keep your elbows tight and dont swing with the shoulders. Also as far as excessively arching on the bench press i meant to have khalid lift his hips off the bench. That would be considered excessive. As long as your hips stay on the bench you should be alright.

[@jerryricee3385]

Instead of laughing at people doing the form wrong people just need to be polite and go to that person and tell them nicely

[@mocabe01]

if s/he's a stranger, don't do that unless s/he is at serious imminent danger (e.g deadlifting and his legs are already wobbling uncontrollably due to excessive weight). it's actually a gym etiquette issue walking up to people and coaching them on proper form. although i would commend you for your initiative, maybe best to tell the gym admin of your concern and let them to talk to the guy instead. maybe the gym admin folks can even confirm that the guy is doing OK. none of us are always right, you know. again, don't do walk up to strangers giving unsolicited advice unless s/he is at serious imminent risk. it's a gym etiquette thing.

[@brunoherrera2574]

I only do that when I know the person is new at gym. When is a old member I just look away because I know he won't change by listen to me. Just like I won't change by anyone including gym teachers because they don't know what I'm doing and think is wrong without proper knowledge.

[@e2622]

I don't tell people shit. It's their fault unfortunately. While I wish I had someone to teach me when I was new, at the time I would've been annoyed. It ain't my job.

[@cobbler88]

My experience with his vids is mixed. In pretty much every vid of his where he has a list of some sort, there is at least one item that is outdated, if not incorrect/bro science. I think he's coming from a sincere position, but as he says, his knowledge is based on lifting and working as a trainer. He doesn't really have the depth of knowledge that some other YTers have in this area (and I think we've all seen our share of trainers in gyms we wouldn't trust), but he's doing his best. I'm not sure why tricep extensions were included at all, as the info differs depending on what sort of handle your using (as he pointed out). And doing skull crushers with your arms back a little more is more efficient and beneficial than the conventional way that has you at almost complete rest in the neutral position. But it's often part of a four-part movement that incorporates a small pullover as well. I find this guy likeable, though, and it's not likely that anyone's going to get hurt by the info he's putting out there. Hopefully he's still curious so that his knowledge will continue to grow. There's nothing wrong with doing a "Things I wasn't quite right about" vid every once in awhile. :)

[@redroofpigeon4595]

For skull crushers i like to bring the bar behind my head and contracting the bicep on the way down for the full range of motion. Also i dont bring it all the way vertical but ending slighly backwards with stretched arms. I also doing it with dumbells since a couple of months, its better for my elbows to stay in position.

[@nosonbla2]

yeah Ive seen a video where a guy explains why its better to go behind the head and do like a 2part motion and not just make an isolation exercise out of this where you dont move your upper arms. I also believe theres less stress on your elbows that way. Same with triceps extension..

[@vancecarlson1672]

Yeah, I like to go behind tha head when doin skullcrushers also because I get tha full range of motion that way. I also don’t move my arms vertical at tha top of tha lift, since that’s when the lats get engaged.

There is no worse enemy to one's consistency than to think you may be executing your routine to less than maximum advantage. Your videos all seem to keep this all-important constant in view.

So on the lunges I have always thought not to have Knee over toe, but recent events AKA talking to a D1 strength coach, I have now changed that thought. You get more ankle and knee mobility if you do knee past toes even if it is more "stress" as long as its not too much weight. I believe mobility is more important in the lunges and split squats, but with heavier weights you shouldn't go knee past toes.

[@MrBrooksV]

A key element of exercising is auditing your form. It’s beneficial to have a gym partner go with you from time to time and check with them to measure your form, but also utilizing mirrors when you’re alone. Injuries and imbalances don’t happen overnight, it’s a gradual process over time usually because there is a lack of mobility/flexibility/stability that causes the range of an exercise to change. Before you know it, boom tendinitis.

For the skull crushers there are people who have longer arms who need to bring it down above their head. As long as you don't feel lat activation and you keep your elbows in you should be good

[@TrillzMMA]

i agree, my triceps always feel sore when i do it above y head, its all about controlling the weight and feeling the stretch on the triceps. but if u move ur arms and let ur lats do much of the work u wont get that tricep feel.

[@L10N.]

These videos are a mood tbh

[@matthewread9001]

2:00 if you want to target hamstrings and glutes more you put your foot farther forward and keep your knee behind the toe. If you want to target quads more put your knee above your toe and keep your feet a little closer together. 4:40 you want to “stick your chest out” as much as possible and create a nice big curve in your upper back so you are grounded properly and your chest is more optimized to work instead of your delts look up Jeff Nippard bench press tips for this. 9:02 you also want to move your torso backwards a tad (half step backwards) on the second half of the push down to keep a constant pull on the muscle in contraction 10:45 your lats only take over if your arms move. If you lock your elbow above your neck/chin then you keep your tricep contracted throughout the whole workout which increases metabolic stress and helps to build muscle.

[@ratchetslim2623]

Agree with everything except skullcrushers. The further back the arms the better the range of tension and stretch of the triceps. I agree if you’re using your lats to overtake it is a bad way of doing them, but assuming that isn’t the case, behind the head is far more effective

[@GHNerland]

Thanks again for these, I've probably been doing a few wrong but at least a different few was confirmed right, also showcasing other workouts I've not seen myself might just be incorporated into my routines for the gym.

I've been having slight elbow pain when lifting. My form on the tricep push down (bar / rope) has been incorrect. Thanks for the info !

But it isnt, dude is wrong

yeah I think if you do skull crushers the way this guy is explaining, youre risking elbow injury. Now I lower the bar behind the head and dont have pain and also have bigger gains since its not purely isolation exercise.
