230: If You Can’t Place It, Don’t Lift It

There are many people out there, yes men and women alike that insist on power lifting a dumbbell or barbell and then letting the weight slam to the floor. I say if it is too heavy for you to put it down nicely you need to lower the weight and focus more on technique and increase your overall strength before revisiting that weight level. Let us all lift with purpose - to improve our quality of life and to strengthen our bodies for life tasks and mishaps.
