Form tips
Avoid using momentum to pull the weights. This is a common mistake that can lead to injury and won't effectively target the muscles you're trying to strengthen. Instead, focus on pulling the weights in a slow and controlled manner.
To get the most out of your exercise, make sure you're using a full range of motion. This means pulling the weights all the way towards your body and then extending your arms fully on the release. Avoid half reps as they won't give you the full benefits of the exercise.
Another common mistake is gripping the handle too tightly or in the wrong position. Your grip should be firm but not overly tight,
