No Eric, I TOTALLY appreciate the info, you know that. Being a little older and wiser now at 35, I really take form seriously since I know what kind of damage can happen if I get sloppy. Your post makes a lot of sense and I'm going to keep that in the front of my mind for now on. I still think I can add the 5lbs next workout as the few bad reps I was talking about was more about lack of focus instead of sloppiness. I had 1 rep in the middle of a set that for some reason instead of doing a full squat, I did that ridiculous lean over move to make the bar feel lower, you know what I mean. And 1 rep where I felt my right knee move way in. As soon as I realized it, I corrected myself on both mistakes. Now you have me thinking though, if I ever do that again, should I not count those reps and just add another in that set if possible? I'm kinda at an odd spot right now, I spent weeks at 160, but now I've added 20lbs in the last 4 sessions. So I'm trying to find the correct weight were I can keep the proper form, but am pushing myself at the same time. I think I spent too much time before looking for the "perfect" form, where now I'm looking for the proper form. That post does have me thinking now though and I'm really going to make sure everything is being done properly.
