By the way, I meant is as in, it is more important to focus on getting the 'form' right rather than prioritizing carrying heavier weights or pushing the limits of the body to try to progress faster. Safety comes first!

That's true. Much better to have clean form with 10% less weight.

Plus, in the long term, it accelerates the progression to heavier weight (especially with the avoidance of injuries, like you said).
