"Why is bad form a problem? Two reasons come to mind immediately. First, shoving joints into positions they are not designed to occupy presents potentially significant safety problems, although not of the magnitude you may have been led to believe. And second, allowing joints to assume positions they are not designed to occupy means work that should have been done by the muscles anatomically designated to move the bones in question actually got done by other muscles, whose proper function in efficiently performing the movement got circumvented by your inattention to detail.
It really boils down to that: bad form—for people who know better—is just a willingness to do the movement the wrong way because that’s the way you’ve been doing it. And the right way is better because eventually you can lift more weight correctly, in addition to the fact that you’re less likely to get hurt." -
