Coaching cues
Form tips
Avoid the mistake of using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, use a slow and controlled movement to raise and lower the dumbbell. This will target the muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury.
Using a weight that's too heavy is a common mistake. It can lead to poor form and potential injury. Select a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form and control, but is still challenging.
To get the most out of the exercise, ensure you're using a full range of motion.
