Technik-Tipps
A common mistake is using too much weight, which can not only lead to injuries but also compromise the form. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase it as your strength improves.
Ensure your movements are slow and controlled. Avoid jerking or using momentum to push the weight down as this can lead to injuries and less effective muscle engagement.
To get the most out of the exercise, make sure you're going through the full range of motion. This means fully extending your arms at the bottom and allowing them to come back up to about a 90-degree angle.
