Practice is what you feel. Not what you do.

There's a difference between performing an exercise and copying a movement

Many people copy movements of squat, swing, pullups, crunch, etc...
They do it with grace and style, and even post it on SM and have a massive following.

Ironically, people who copy - don't have much glutes - although they squat, they develop biceps instead of massive back - despite many reps of pull-ups, and have their low back hurt but no six-pack - when they do a 1000 crunches.

How so? Simple.
Copying a movement is about getting to the right angles and MAKING IT LOOK CORRECT.

Footnote: strength movements are usually performed, at least what you see on SM, with light weights. Given their poor force distribution and lack of biomechanical understanding - light loads are the only thing they can handle.

Performing an exercise, on the other hand, is about FEELING the EXACT MUSCLES involved and ENGAGED and DELIBERATE ACTIVATION of any muscle relevant for the given movement!

Arnold, in his "Pumping Iron" days, talked about this: "You must feel your ass doing the job if you want your ass to grow". 

Powerlifting and Weightlifting are great examples of such abilities.

Now you have a compass, or a bullshit detector - if you prefer this term better. 😏

1. Perform a movement
2. Can you willingly activate and drive from the relevant muscles?
No? Learn how.
Yes? Load it and enjoy the gains.

Peace.
