Form tips
When performing the exercise, control is key. Avoid the temptation to use momentum to lift the dumbbell. Instead, focus on engaging your muscles and lifting the weight in a slow, controlled manner. This not only helps to prevent injury but also ensures that your muscles are working to their full capacity.
Select a weight that is challenging but manageable. It should be heavy enough to provide resistance but not so heavy that it compromises your form. Lifting too heavy weights can lead to poor technique and potential injury.
