>But jumping straight into lifting heavy weights is not recommended. Instead, experts recommend focusing on technique and starting with loads that can be comfortably lifted before progressively increasing the training.
I'm not sure if its because I'm in the 'advanced' category of lifting, but I have recently been going against this common advice.
I recommend people get to heavy weights as quick as possible. Adding a minimum of 5lbs each time they lift, but more often 10+. At some point the weight becomes too heavy and you compensate with bad form. Wait wait wait before you downvote, I have a rational here:
Your auxiliary muscles that allowed you to do bad form are tired now. Lower the weight and 'clean them up' with good form.
I'm not alone in this mindset, but it goes against conventional wisdom.
People forget that muscles are being used even when we do bad form.
Just don't get injured. Pain = stop right away.
