A common mistake is arching the back during the press. This can lead to lower back injuries. To avoid this, engage your core throughout the exercise. Think about keeping your back flat against the bar, and your spine neutral.
Another common mistake is rushing through the reps. Ensure you are lifting and lowering the bar in a controlled manner. This not only prevents injuries but also ensures that your muscles are getting the most out of each rep.
To get the most out of the Smith Shoulder Press, use a full range of motion.
