Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to lift the weights, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid leaning back or arching your back, as this can put unnecessary stress on your lower back and spine.
