Conseils techniques
Avoid dropping the bar quickly and bouncing it off your chest. This not only increases the risk of injury but also reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Lower the bar in a controlled manner, pause briefly, and then push it back up. This ensures that your muscles are doing the work, not momentum.
A common mistake is locking out the elbows at the top of the lift, which can put unnecessary strain on the joints. Instead, stop just short of full extension to keep the tension on your muscles
