^^^^I think you understand exactly what I'm getting at now in terms of your current training. I wasn't accusing you of overthinking! I was just saying that I may not have made myself clear. That's the thing...this isn't some cut and dry thing I can narrow down to bullet points
so if it seems like a lot that is because there is a lot of thought that goes into it. But overthinking is not a term I use very freely because I've discovered it's mostly something "guru's" holler when they don't know the answer to your question
I believe this is a thinking man's game and the only people who don't think so are those that get headaches from so much mental activity.
I do want to say (and then I'll shut up) that I don't believe that obsessing over perfect textbook form is a good idea. Like trying to make your body move in an unnatural way in order to adhere to someone's else's rigid defintion of "proper". The truth is I've strained myself as often doing that as anything else. So I am talking about "good form" as in the last rep being similar to your first rep but at the same time I don't believe it is a good idea to never push the limits (within the realms of good judgment). I think that is paramount. So all this stuff is not mean as a treatise on form just a discussion about another tool in the toolbox.
