Form tips
Avoid using too much weight. It's a common misconception that using heavier weights will lead to faster muscle gain. However, using weights that are too heavy can lead to improper form and potential injury. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as your strength improves.
Keep your elbows slightly bent during the exercise. This reduces the strain on your joints and focuses the workout on your shoulder muscles. Avoid locking your elbows as this can lead to injury.
The Lever Lateral Raise should be performed in a slow, controlled manner. Avoid the temptation to rush through the exercise.
