[QUOTE="tech_wreck47, post: 292784, member: 2346"] Of course not, but its their choice to play. My main point though is, there's no need to do weight lifting if you have awful form. If your form is awful you are actually prohibiting yourself from getting stronger than if you went down in weight and did the proper form. Let's take bench press for an example, if you are trying to key in on your chest why would you do "normal" grip which involves your triceps more? You can do 350 with a "normal" grip but if you drop down to 315 and widen your grip you are actually building your chest more, because it's the proper form to build that muscle. If you are doing a clean what's the point in doing 350 and not even dropping low with awful form if you can get a better workout by dropping weight and doing it right to actually get a good workout and get stronger? That's all I'm trying to get at. Bad form= injuries and slower strength gain. Great form = less injuries and faster strength gain. Like you said they can get injuries in a game so what's the point in making injuries even a greater chance by weightlifting? That doubles your chance of injury, doesn't make much sense to me just so they can say I did this much weight when it didn't really help them get better at anything. [/QUOTE]
