I’m a form expert with 30+ million views on my form videos
If you feel like you’re putting in the work but not seeing the results you deserve… there’s a really good chance it’s not your effort—it’s your form.
After coaching 5,500+ clients, we see the same mistakes over and over
Big difference between doing something and doing it well. Not even 8 reps is the same.
End of this episode I’m going to give you the formula to have top 1% form in gym
-Too heavy and ego lifting or going to light (Girl on laptop, if you don’t take it seriously you arent going to naturally work the right muscles)
-Breathing
-Rushing reps, trying to speed through. If it feels robotic it’s trash, it should be controlled and intentional
-Then you need to keep that standard. People get lazy over time
Instant form fix:
Drop weight by 10%
2 second negative on every rep and hold squeeze for 1 second
Film yourset and analze, cross reference to our form guide if need be

| 0:00.0 | And today I'm going to give you the secrets on how to instantly improve your form so you can get more from every workout. |
| 0:05.9 | And as a bonus, at the end of this episode, I'm going to give you three things you can do to instantly fix your form and be top 1% for your form in any exercise. |
| 0:27.6 | What's going on, everybody? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. I'm your coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach KG and I'm in the house. And today I'm |
| 0:34.6 | going to give you the secrets on how to instantly improve your form so you can get more from every workout. |
| 0:40.0 | So I think it's safe to say that myself and Kyle are forum experts. |
| 0:43.3 | We have over 30 million views on our YouTube form videos and we've helped millions of people around the world |
| 0:48.8 | improve their form and not suffer with bad form in the gym. |
| 0:52.7 | Saying so, there's other tips that kind of get left behind |
| 0:55.6 | with form and contraction and just really being a pro in the gym. There are some general rules that if |
| 1:01.1 | you follow, it's quite easy to be an expert with your form. And I find after working with 5,500 clients |
| 1:07.8 | in my program that I see the common things over and over. And I'm going to show you |
| 1:12.3 | exactly what you want to do to avoid them. And as a bonus, at the end of this episode, I'm |
| 1:16.8 | going to give you three things you can do to instantly fix your form and be top 1% for your |
| 1:21.5 | form in any exercise. So naturally, this wouldn't be a form episode if I didn't talk about ego lifting |
| 1:27.4 | and doing weight that's too heavy. This is one of the easiest ways to really mess up your form. So if you want to have amazing form, you need to work through full ranges of motion. So you don't want to be doing half the motion, a quarter of the motion, 70% of the motion. You want to do the full range of the motion because we actually want to work the muscle from its start point to its end point. And we don't want to go beyond that or short of that because if we go beyond that, that's how we can end up locking out our joints and actually causing more pain. And if we go short of that, we're not working a muscle in a full range of motion. Think if you only did half a stretch instead of stretching a muscle all the way. This is what can happen at the gym. But on the flip side, if you go the opposite route and you're going too low, there's going to be a chance you're not actually taking the seriousness to each set. So I always like to say when you're working out, you should be a little bit like, okay, let's go. You got to be a little intimidated to actually start that set that's how you'll know |
| 2:17.7 | you'll have a good work a good working weight and one thing i found with a lot of my clients as well |
| 2:22.3 | when they start with a weight that's almost comical and not difficult things will get won't be |
| 2:27.4 | optimized other muscle groups will come in but as that weight gets heavier the body's pretty smart |
| 2:32.3 | and it will find efficient ways to get that up for better or for worse. And oftentimes with something like a bench press, you'll notice people's bench actually improving the heavier the weight gets because they need to optimize for those major muscle groups. But on the flip side for something like a deadlift, the body is smart and if it wants to get that weight up it'll do whatever it has to do it can recruit |
| 2:50.9 | some of the wrong muscles so that is where you want to balance between these two things |
| 2:54.6 | i love that josh mentioned it because when it comes down to ego lifting a lot ends up taking |
| 2:59.3 | place you end up shortening your range of motion you end up potentially hurting yourself which |
