Form tips
Choose a dumbbell that is challenging but allows you to maintain proper form. If the weight is too heavy, it can lead to poor form and potential injury. On the other hand, if it's too light, you won't get the full benefits of the exercise.
Avoid the mistake of rushing through the exercise. Each movement should be controlled and deliberate. This not only reduces the risk of injury, but also makes the exercise more effective as it engages your muscles throughout the entire range of motion.
