Technique

Technique is the foundation of strength. You can have the best program in the world, but poor form will limit your progress and increase injury risk.

The big three lifts—squat, bench press, and deadlift—each have their own technical demands. Small adjustments in setup, bracing, and bar path can make a significant difference in how much weight you can move.

The articles below break down technique for each lift, address common mistakes, and provide cues that actually work. Study them, film your lifts, and refine over time.
