They let their form break – Form is very important as the proper form will assist your body to do your workout without putting unnecessary strain on your joints and muscles. To improve your form, reduce your weight and reps till you have proper practice and can hold your form throughout your sets.

They push past the pain – Soreness is often felt after a new workout, however, soreness that lasts for more than 2 days and those that are worse on one leg or arm than another, can mean an injury. The point to note is that working through pain, can cause injury and not make you stronger.
