it's ironic to me that so many weight training publications (books, mags, etc) stress the need for good form and proceed to explain how to do each exercise with a sentence or 2! And rarely is anything ever said about the need to "practice"!

HIT advocates are some of the worst offenders of this because most HIT type programs dont even consider warming up totally necessary. A Jones and E Darden actually advocate NOT warming up with lighter sets of each movement prior to the working set(s)!
so how much technique practice is one really getting with one set of each movement and NO warm ups???

I want to expand this thread. Starting with head position and eye movement.

This is the kind of post I've made before:

So don't look down.
I'm still surprised that many people preach looking up...but don't seem to know the difference between looking up and putting the head up.

I wanted some backup from someone who really knows about how the eyes affect your movements and here it is:

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
