At Rebel Yell, we preach one thing above all else: technique first, ego second.
New lifters often make the same mistake. They load up the bar, chase the heaviest weight in the room, and wonder why they plateau or get injured. The truth is simple: bad reps don’t count.
Why Movement Quality Matters
Movement quality isn’t just about looking good in the gym. It’s about:
– Building stronger neural pathways
– Preventing injury
– Maximizing muscle engagement
– Long-term progress
The 80/20 Rule of Lifting
Here’s what separates the strong from the injured: consistency with good form beats sporadic heavy singles every single time. A set of 5 strict reps at 80% of your max is infinitely better than 1 ugly max lift.
How We Coach At Rebel Yell
Our coaches aren’t there to watch you lift. They’re there to catch form breakdowns before they become injuries. Every movement we teach starts at a weight you can own completely. Ego has no place in the box.
This week, challenge yourself: Pick one movement and drop the weight 20%. Film yourself. See what you’re actually doing. The difference might surprise you.
Strength isn’t built in a day. It’s built through consistent, quality reps over months and years. That’s the Rebel Yell way.
