Ionuț Cosma Coaching
@ionut_cosmaHere I explain exercise biomechanics, the mistakes I see most often in the gym and how to correct them. What I have learned as a trainer and educator, for anyone who wants to understand a movement before repeating it. The videos are in Romanian.
The rule I give clients and trainees alike: learn the movement first, then add intensity.
