great article.. it really shows how important proper form is..
 
I was squatting once (lifting a very heavy weight) and I did not squat back far enough… I lost my balance and I almost fell forward…
 
Thank god I did not injure my self
 
I learned my lesson…

Use a weight I feel comfortable with or have a spotter assisting me
Make sure I squat down and back pressing from my heals
Use proper breathing technique
Squat down with control and keep my core tight!!!!

 
Does anyone have any horror stories to share about poor form and technique???
