Form before anything!

 I had been having some problems with my car but I finally got it back . They only have to repair my AC, but I had to leave the car with the mechanic. I believe it's impossible to drive around the valley without AC. This month of October I'm glad I started on the right foot, and went to the gym after doing some homework. I walked in and saw a friend that I haven't seen since 4grade. I instantly walked up to him and he looked at me with disbelief  " Alejandro is that you" it's a compliment that I get a lot from people that I haven't seen me in a while. I've always been really skinny but I guess I surprise people now that I gain a little bit of muscle. " Dude you look amazing you have to show me what you've been doing, I only been working out for a few months".  I noticed that he was going for the heavyweights, he would bend his back a lot when doing bicep curls. It reminded me of me when I started working out, I went straight to some heavy dumbbells thinking that I was doing it right, but that's when a great friend of mine told me " drop the weight, and focus on your form". I believe this is a important reminder for beginners that just got into exercising, that weight is nothing if your form is bad. You could hurt your back trying to curl something that you can't. I told my friend to drop the 20 pound dumbbells and go to 10, to focus on form before anything, because with a right form you target your muscle more accordingly. When I started following this rule, I felt more sore than ever. I finished the workout with my friend, and he told told me he was feeling completely different. Its a reminder that we should all start light and first focus on form before going to heavier weights.
