Technik-Tipps
When crossing your arms, do so in a controlled manner. Avoid swinging your arms too quickly or forcefully, which can strain your shoulder muscles.
When you extend your arms out to the sides, make sure they're parallel to the floor. This ensures you're getting the full range of motion, which makes the exercise more effective.
A common mistake is to bend the elbows while performing the exercise. Keep your arms as straight as possible to effectively engage the shoulder and chest muscles.
Don't hold your breath during the exercise. Inhale as you open your arms and exhale as you cross them.
