Body Pump Is Teaching Me Correct Form
One of the great benefits of taking these twice (or thrice) weekly Body Pump classes is that it’s teaching me the correct form for lifting. The prime example is with the chest, I had always been using my triceps heavily to the push the weight when I should’ve been using my chest. This is because I wasn’t pulling my shoulder-blades together when lifting. By concentrating on pulling the blades together a little more, I felt the weight working my chest more. Part of the reason I was doing it wrong was because when I did chest lifting, I don’t feel the burn I do in other exercises, I just couldn’t lift anymore. With Body Pump, since it’s lower weight and higher repetition, I can feel the burn more and thus know which muscles are being used.
So, Body Pump is teaching me correct form!
