Please list an example of being "strong" in a "bad way", is that meant to be an oxymoron?
YouTube - Diesel Weasel Max lifts #15 - deadlift, bent-over rows and biceps curl on street (horrible form)
I <3 Diesel Weasel. Dude's strong and has serious commitment, but damn how he hasn't got a metal rod for a spine yet is beyond me.
I lol'd in RLlol check out his 'incline' bench one
Sure its possible to avoid injuries.
When I was reppin 60kg's on the bench I was injury free!!
I was also invisible when viewed from the side and needed to anchor myself down if a strong breeze occurred.
So it was a grinder (with good form), because I wasn't "tight", not because it's an all time personal best lift and the most weight I've ever squatted?Mike's 137.5 or whatever it was at ProRaw
It is good form in terms of chest is up, knees are out etc, but there is not tightness there
lack of tightness can cause injuries
Mike doing that 137.5 tight would have flown up and not been a grinder.
If you think you can train through, it's generally not an injuruy you're just hurting. I class an injury as something that physically puts you out of training. If you play a sport and you want to be top class at it, injury will come with the territory.
Saying that, having constant hurts or injuries does make you doubt yourself a bit.

Sorry Minh you'll need to explain to me more because I'm not buying it. Before the descent I clearly took a deep breath into my belly and prepped myself for the lift and if I hadn't of done that there is no way I would have made it through the sticking point.
No not really. Have you even watched the video? I have no issue with utilising the SCC as you can clearly see I have no trouble getting out the hole. The problem is halfway up which is a long way past the rebound point at the bottom......i'll explain
think of a cross bow or a slingshot
form and technique is not just about looking textbook
it is important to look good, but not as important as being tight
you load up a cross bow and you release it to fire
when you are loading it up there is an opposing force
51% load, 49% opposing
loading up the stretch shortening cycle
simple example, a punch, you pull back tight and release
the 51% load turns into 0% and the opposing force becomes 100% as fast as possible "the quick reversal"
a lift should be a fluid, tight acceleration peaking in speed at the point of reversal, that's where u maximise explosive potential
you don't want to generate 100% or close to that at the bottom
you want your 100% and the energy redirected
hope you understand
It's a fine line though, you have to try and make a judgement call. Training through pain can cause an injury to become chronic. I know, training through pain caused me to get a chronic knee injury which ment no footy or squatting for 2 years.
People can act all tuff about Injuries but being out for years at a time your not going to achieve much.
