Form tips
A common mistake is to use momentum to pull the bar down. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury. Instead, focus on using your muscles to control both the downward pull and the upward return, keeping the motion smooth and steady.
It's important to breathe properly during this exercise. Inhale as you extend your arm and exhale as you pull the bar down.
