Form tips
Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. This not only reduces the risk of injury but also ensures that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise.
Another common mistake is using weights that are too heavy. This can lead to poor form and potential injury. Start with a weight that allows you to perform the exercise correctly and increase gradually as you gain strength.
