Form tips
Pull the dumbbells towards your chest, keeping your elbows close to your body. Ensure you are not using momentum or jerking the weights up, but rather engaging your back muscles to perform the lift. This controlled movement is key to targeting the right muscles.
Breathe out as you pull the dumbbells up and breathe in as you lower them back to the starting position. Proper breathing not only helps to maintain a steady rhythm but also ensures that your muscles are getting the oxygen they need.
Do not overextend your arms when lowering the dumbbells.
