The most important quote in the above article:

“Focus on proper form on all of the movements before you start to increase weight, otherwise you are putting yourself at risk for injury. There is zero shame in scaling a movement until you are able to perfect it. This may mean you are working with a PVC pipe, a training bar, or a “girl bar”.”
