Rounded backs, knee caves—what’s the worst form flub you’ve seen?
Help beginners fix these pitfalls early!

[NewbieGains]

I keep hearing “don’t round your back” on deadlifts, but mine does it anyway.
How do I stop?
I’m only at 95 lbs!

Rounded backs are a classic!
NewbieGains, focus on keeping your chest up—pretend you’re showing off a logo on your shirt.
Fixed mine that way.

Knee caves on squats—saw a newbie almost collapse the bar! Hips back and knees out, folks.
Start light to groove the pattern.

[RippedRookie]

I lean too far forward on squats— feels like I’ll tip over! Is that normal or am I doing it wrong?

[SquatSensei]

RippedRookie, leaning forward usually means weak core or tight hips.
Try box squats to a bench—teaches you to sit back.
Saw a guy fix it in 2 weeks.

[BulkBeast]

I used to bounce the bar off my chest on bench press—thought it made me stronger.
Nope, just bruised ribs.
Flat back, controlled descent is the way.

[FitFamTom]

My elbows flare out crazy on bench—hurts my shoulders.
Is that a newbie mistake or just me?

Elbow flare’s a big one, FitFamTom! Tuck ‘em at 45 degrees—protects your shoulders and boosts power.
Practice with light weight first.

Saw a newbie swinging dumbbells on curls—looked like a dance move! Lock your elbows by your sides—form over ego.
