On the contrary. I say what I mean
I don't imply.

You can't overcome compensation problems with form points. I know that some seem to think that all injurie result from poor form. They don't...at least not directly. They're may be technigue points that you can adhere to that will help you recruit certain muscles but honestly it's not the time to do that with a heavy barbell on your back. You are not conciously in control of all the different muscle firing patterns that go on when you lift. These things are controlled by the brain automatically no matter what rules you adhere to. I think we can be pretty clear on what lead to it if you just think about the role of the different muscles involved. The idea of people thinking injuries are a mystery and they'll never know is what causes us to keep doing the same stuff over and over.
Shifting goals isn't a way to get past barriers. Shifting goals is usually just a response to a snag or not getting the results you wanted. Oh, look I can't lift a car yet I think I'll cut. And the best program is what works for you. If your want me to suggest some random program that is "cool" and will somehow magically solve the problem it just won't happen. When I mentioned protocol I did not mean you had to change to a new program...only make some changes to what you are doing now. Add a few things..whatever.
I know people think I make things too complicated and they want a simple little pat answer to problems. But there are not simple answers to complicated things. The fact is most of the time I am keeping it simple. Given that this is something you can take some simple steps to avoid in the future I think.
