It'll be in there. It'll be tricky to word it correctly as perception of correct "form" differs so much. Pretty much every lifting style criticizes the others that their form is bad. So we'll have to go with some universal principles where the brain can correctly identify whenever something feels like it might suffer an injury now or over time.
I prefer leaving it in the domain of the individual's goals and personal/trainer's expertise even over "universal principles".... I am a bit wary of suggesting to the brain to watch out for stuff that can injure us now or later.... it might start telling me that squatting so much is crazy and I should back off and rather do yoga!! (when really what I needed was a confidence and energy boost, sheer will/determination, and adherence to correct form (as I see it) in order to safely keep piling on weights)
