Form tips
Avoid swinging the weights or using momentum to lift the dumbbells. Instead, raise them in a slow and controlled manner to the height of your shoulders. This will ensure that your muscles are fully engaged throughout the exercise and reduce the risk of injury.
Breathe in as you lower the weights, and breathe out as you lift them. Proper breathing is important as it helps to maintain your energy levels and keep your movements controlled.
