Form tips
Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the dumbbells. Instead, lift and lower the weights in a slow, controlled manner. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also helps to engage the muscles more effectively. The rotation should also be controlled, with the palms facing in at the bottom of the movement and out at the top.
Choose a weight that challenges you but doesn't compromise your form. If you're struggling to maintain the correct form, the weight is likely too heavy. On the other hand, if you're not feeling challenged
