LIFTING

Hi Cathe,

Couple of questions.

On overhead press for shoulders, if I am hunching my neck somewhat am I better off going lighter even though I can lift heavy? Same question for tricep kickbacks if I am not going back as far as I should with a heavier weight (which seems to be way past the waist)am I better off going lighter. Just how far past the waist should one go? It depends on which tape or DVD I am using as far as my form. I have been doing weight work for several years so I know what I am doing, so the hunching of the neck is not ridiculous but the neck is not relaxed.
 
Hi Annabel! Always lift the heaviest weight you can handle with good form and technique. If you can't maintain proper form or do the exercise using full range of motion, then yes, go a bit lighter. Good Luck!
