Form tips
Avoid swinging your arms or using momentum to lift the weights. Instead, focus on maintaining controlled, steady movements. This will ensure that your muscles are truly engaged and that you're not just relying on momentum to move the weights.
Choose a weight that is challenging but allows you to complete the exercise with proper form. If the weight is too heavy, you may not be able to perform the exercise correctly, which can lead to injury.
When switching your palms, ensure that your wrists are not twisted or strained.
