After all, effective technique on squats for someone six feet tall will likely differ somewhat from a person barely pushing five feet!

However, there are a handful of exercises where particular form-points do need to be meticulously adhered to, not as much for isolation of the target muscle, but for prevention of serious injury. Here are six of them.
