Coaching-Hinweise
Technik-Tipps
Avoid rapid, jerky movements. Lower the weight slowly and in a controlled manner until your knees form a 90-degree angle. This will not only help avoid injury but also ensure that your muscles are fully engaged during the exercise.
Another common mistake is arching the back during the exercise. This can put undue pressure on your spine and lead to injury. Ensure your back remains flat against the bench throughout the exercise.
When you push the weight up, avoid fully extending and locking your knees. This can strain your knee joints. Instead, keep a slight bend in your knees even at the top of the movement.
