I am a firm believer in "Muscle, not Momentum!" Lower the weight a little, keep good form and reap the benefits. Who cares that you can curl 100 pounds or pull down 200 lbs if you are using your entire body to do it?????

...that is all.....I will get off my soap box now!
Amen to that. I see folks swinging weights around all the time. I wanna go correct them but usually don't. The worst offenders are on the lat pulls. They're rocking back and forth like they're rowing a boat LMAO.
