Form tips
Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the band. This is a common mistake that can lead to ineffective results and potential injury. Instead, use slow and controlled movements, focusing on the muscle contraction and keeping tension on the muscles throughout the entire exercise.
Make sure to grip the band securely, but don't squeeze it too tightly. A common mistake is to grip the band too hard, which can strain your hands and wrists. Your grip should be firm but relaxed.
