Form tips
Avoid the common mistake of using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements, both when lifting and lowering the weights. This will engage your muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury.
Your arms should be slightly bent at the elbows and not completely straight. This will allow you to engage the back muscles more effectively and prevent any unnecessary strain on your joints.
