When to Add More Weight


When you lift, should you always add more weight? The answer depends on what you are going for. If you are going for better technique, then only add weight if your lift was solid. If your lift had some obvious flaws, keep the same weight. If your lift was terrible, bring the weight down.
There are exceptions to this rule. Sometimes, the weight is so light, it causes lousy technique. Ideally, a lifter would have te same for lifting a pvc as they do with their 1rm. For some beginners, a little bit of weight actually helps.
Most of the time, for most of us, adding more weight to the bar when we are lifting with bad technique is a bad idea. It won’t necessarily injure us but it will necessisarily instill bad habits.
