Form isn't important because form always breaks down anyway when approaching maximal weights.
And if you're not lifting near maximal weights, whatever form you're using isn't an accurate representation because the submaximal weights trick you by allowing you to use form that looks good but isn't mechanically efficient.
Form matters for olympic weightlifting and pretty much nothing else.

Stupid take
What's really important is stressing/tearing your muscle fibers and you can do that in a number of different ways. Strict form can increase time under tension which is one way. Increasing weight is another way. Dropsets, supersets, pre-fatiguing, etc. are all a number of other options as well.
There's too many non-lifters in this alternate misc that have no idea what they are talking about. If the only way you're able to challenge yourself is loading on more weight you're setting yourself up to be 1-dimensional and ultimately will limit how much progress you can make. If you've been lifting a long time you understand this. I would expect someone lifting for maybe 2-3 years to think weight is the only thing that matters...... but that's probably the timeframe most of you have spent lifting on this forum so it tracks

"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Just remembered some old youtube channel when I started 13 yrs ago or so - build guy (but no monster) that I followed. He was about 10 yrs younger than me and had tattoos all over him - white guy, 5'10-6' 200 lbs. Haven't seen since then, but was a fairly big channel, I think, and was always emphasizing form. Anyways.....

Found him thanks to chatgpt list of the era. Don't get results on google or youtube when search channel name (Health4Thought), so guess it must be deleted. Found in an old hodgetwin vid.
