ORIGINAL: twistedlink henry, i know its the powerlifting section, but form still counts here, how do you think your muscles will get stronger? By using crap form and elasticity, or actually using the muscle? Think about it. Im not saying they dont deserve a world record title, they do, that is the max a human has done muscle or not, all im saying is theyre not the strongest people despite there world record lifts, because strength is about how much the muscle can lift, not how elastic someones muscle fibre is. If you continue to bounce the weight, your repping weight will unlikely rise. Even powerlifters have to use form, what you are thinking of is where they just get the weight up as quickly as they can, however if you bounce, or dont use correct form you WILL hurt yourself. I think when you say you see people "boncing" the weight you are not referring to a competive powerlfiter. Powerlifting organizations have rules and at least within the USAPL they are strictly enforced. The bar must rest on the chest motionlessly for a distinct pause
