Form tips
Avoid rushing through the motion. Instead, focus on controlled, slow movements. This will help you maximize muscle engagement and avoid potential injury. A common mistake is using momentum to lift the weights, which can lead to improper form and potential injury.
Select a weight that is challenging but manageable. It should allow you to perform the exercise with proper form for the recommended number of repetitions. Using too much weight can lead to poor form and increase the risk of injury.
Ensure you are using a full range of motion during the exercise
