Form tips
Avoid jerky or fast movements. This exercise is not about speed but about control and precision. The more controlled your movements, the more your muscles will work and the more benefits you will get from the exercise.
Use a weight that is challenging but not so heavy that it compromises your form. Using too heavy weights can lead to strain and injury, and using too light weights will not provide enough resistance for an effective workout.
Ensure you are using a full range of motion during the exercise. This means extending your arms fully during the outward phase and bringing them close together during the inward phase.
