Learning From Other People's Mistakes

Mike Thurston Corrects Your Mistakes

Rather than search online for how to DO a certain exercise, it is far more productive and targeted to search for how NOT to do them.

YouTube is a phenomenal source for fitness and bodybuilding videos, some good, some bad. Unfortunately some people are more attracted to the philosophies of various Gym Bros, the boasting, loud, trash-talking douches who have no idea what they’re doing, rather than to the many even-keeled level headed trainers. That’s life I guess.

Two very worthwhile online trainers who have proven historically to have a good handle on explaining what you may be doing wrong are Jeff Cavaliere and Mike Thurston.

Thurston has a series of videos of what not to do and how to change your current style to achieve proper form HERE. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=thurston+gym+mistakes

Cavaliere has a huge number of videos online whereby in most of them he is explaining proper form and common mistakes and how to correct them HERE. https://www.youtube.com/user/JDCav24

Proper form adds to the difficulty of the exercise, which is why so many people are lazy about proper form. Proper form makes all the difference between progressing and not progressing.

In addition to Cavaliere and Thurston’s vids, search on YouTube by typing in the search field “Mistakes” + the name of the bodypart, such as “leg mistakes,” “Biceps Mistakes,” etc.
