Why is technique important in weightlifting?

Incorrect weight training techniques can lead to sprains, strains, fractures and other painful injuries that may hamper your weight training efforts.

Why is it important to use the correct technique when you exercise?

Performing exercises correctly ensures that the load is placed on the muscles and joints that are being specifically targeted through the movement. Performing an exercise incorrectly can quite often lead to other joints and muscles being loaded or not getting the full benefit from the exercise in the target muscles.
