「練健美不是一昧地追求大重量！」
2012年我到日本健美表演時；當時也受邀的另一位前IFBB職業選手是Joe Palumbo。
最近Joe Palumbo在他的FB中有感而發地寫到：
Currently in any gym anywhere in the world, a person can walk in and find a lifter, regardless of gender, weight training with an unrealistic weight; throwing the weights around instead of focusing on form and maximum muscle contraction. Most novice lifters are so consumed with hoisting heavy weights, thinking that their physique will improve along with the execution of heavy weights, with poor form. Unfortunately, hoisting heavy weights does not automatically improve your physique in fact; it can be very detrimental, not only to your muscular gains, but also to the body. Stick to proper form!!!!
※ （大意上是說：現在很多練健美的人；包括初學者，一昧地追求大重量！完全不去注意動作的正確姿勢！……）
Joe Palumbo目前在號稱美國東岸最好的健身院；也就是紐約市Bev Francis的Powerhouse Gym健身院練習，裡頭像Kai Greene等職業選手一堆。Joe Palumbo目前在bodybuilding.com也有Q&A專欄。http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=142169941
在美國的健身院裡頭；普遍大家滿腦袋都認為「Lift big to get big」（要變大就要舉更重！）。拼命舉很重！不管姿勢正不正確？就算只推一點點也爽……。
其實在台灣也差不多是一樣；一大堆人每天一邊練；一邊計算或計較重量進步了多少？為了舉更重；休息老半天！完全不顧「練習強度」！！
