Coaching cues
Form tips
Use a reverse grip (palms facing down) on the bar when performing this exercise. Make sure your hands are shoulder-width apart. A common mistake is to grip the bar too wide or too narrow, which can limit the effectiveness of the exercise and potentially cause injury.
Focus on slow, controlled movements. Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weight, as this can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, concentrate on using your biceps to lift the weight, and control the weight as you lower it back down.
Ensure you're using a full range of motion during the exercise.
