Form tips
Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, use slow and controlled movements. This will ensure that your muscles are doing the work and not momentum. It also reduces the risk of injury.
Make sure your grip is firm but not overly tight. Your palms should be facing each other and your hands should be positioned at the ends of the lever. Gripping too tightly or in the wrong position can strain your wrists and hands.
Another common mistake is using too much weight. It's more beneficial to use a weight that allows you to perform the exercise with proper form rather than struggling with a weight that's too heavy.
