Sunday Morning Workout

Good workout today, with lots of folks doing things right. Guy beside me was doing Barbell RDL's with good form and a lean 45 year-old gal doing sets of 8-10 chinups.

I still saw some bad bench press technique (again, if you are only going to lower the bar 4 inches, find another exercise to do). Also, 90% of people at the gym who think they are doing "cleans", are really just doing reverse grip curls. Today a girl was doing dumbbell cleans with bad technique.

I'm not sure whether either of these improper exercises will cause an injury, but more effective exercises could certainly be used in place for both.

For my workout...
