Episode 159 - Why "Bad" Exercise Form Might Actually Be Good For You

You've probably heard that certain exercises or positions put too much "strain" on your joints, ligaments, or muscles—but is that really a bad thing? In this episode, I'm breaking down why avoiding so-called "dangerous" positions can actually make you more prone to injury, not less, and how to spot social media content that is serving a side of fragility (without intending to).

We'll be covering:

✅ Why being in a mechanical disadvantage isn't a reason to avoid a movement (it's actually a reason to train it!) ✅ How your joints, ligaments, and muscles adapt to load—and why stressing them isn't inherently dangerous ✅ The importance of training at all positions (especially the ones where injuries actually happen) ✅ Red flags to look for when providers or trainers say "don't do this because it loads X"
