Form First

In efforts to increase mass, strength, or performance, many sacrifice form and mechanics for perceived gains. Don't fool yourself, get the form right in the beginning and the function will follow. If your perform and movement with the intent of working a particular muscle group but allow others to dominate, then all of the grunting and cursing is for nothing. Don't be a "tough guy" (or girl) lower the weight and get it right the first time. There are some routines that allow some measure of "cheating" or broken form, but this should be undertaken with real intent. In other words don't explain horrible form by claiming you are doing some modified form of cheat principle or overload training. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Overloads and Power Rack training routines are a great way to add size, identify weak/sticking points, and get a good pump.
