Form tips
Avoid using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, use a slow and controlled movement. This will ensure that your triceps are doing the work and not your back or shoulders. A common mistake is to rush through the exercise, which can lead to poor form and potential injury.
Use a weight that allows you to complete the desired number of repetitions while maintaining proper form. If the weight is too heavy, you may strain your muscles or compromise your form, leading to ineffective results or injury
