Is my lifting technique correct?
Stress 'cor-RET-to'. 'Sollevare' = sol-le-VA-re.
Ask a trainer or more experienced gym-goer to check your form on any exercise. Correct technique is crucial for safety and effectiveness.
'È corretto' = is it correct. 'Il mio modo di sollevare' = my way of lifting. This is a polite, genuine question. An alternative: 'Sto sollevando bene?' (Am I lifting correctly?) — simpler and more direct.
Sto usando la tecnica giusta?
Am I using the right technique?
Alternative phrasing.
Puoi correggermi la postura?
Can you correct my posture?
Requesting a specific correction.
Ho paura di farmi male.
I'm afraid of hurting myself.
Expressing concern about injury.
Italian trainers ('istruttori di sala') are legally required to monitor members' technique in the gym as part of their duty of care. Poorly supervised gyms can be held liable for injuries. This is why Italian gym trainers are often more hands-on than in some other countries.
