Form tips
Engage your core throughout the entire movement. This not only helps to protect your lower back, but also ensures that you are using your muscles effectively. A common mistake is to let the core go slack, which can lead to back injury and less effective workouts.
Avoid rushing through the exercise. It's not about how many reps you can do, but how well you can do them. A slow, controlled movement will engage your muscles
