I started my PE journey, beginning of 2018. Now although I am not a science person, I like to approach PE in a scientific manner. Now when talking about PE, there is talk mostly about time, routine, consistency, intensity, etc. However, from the start I noticed a few aspects that were covered less or not as much as the others. Knowing these could be beneficial to newbies.
They are the following :
1. Form - I dont think I have heard anyone talk about this except dld himself in one of his videos on youtube. When we talk about form it differs from exercise to exercise for example its more complicated probably in girth exercises as opposed to length ones. Sometimes correct form in simple or more advanced exercises is not mimicked by those practicing it, hence they might be missing gains.
2. Intensity - This is more talked about. How much force or how less force, how you should feel, etc.
I for one focus greatly on my form and intensity - my entire routine is focused on doing my workout properly (the grip, tension, timing, etc.) or if I am distracted by something, Id rather do it as long as I can focus for and cut my routine short or not train for the day, instead of doing it half arsed.
Many times I heard people say they stretched but didnt grow for months, or that they did PE for a year or more with no gains. The question is were they using the correct form ? Was the intensity sufficient, was the grip appropriate ? Many will give it a tug as much as their grip permits, so if the grip is bad - the tug / tension will not be sufficient. Many might pull harder than necessary, thus restricting future gains or injuring themselves
I am talking strictly manual exercises - if using particular devices is complicated enough to have different forms thereby altering results, then it would be applicable to that as well.
