Conseils techniques
Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. The bar should rest on the base of your palms with your wrists straight. A common mistake is to hold the bar in the fingers, which can lead to wrist injuries and less power.
Lower the bar to your mid-chest slowly and under control. Avoid bouncing the bar off your chest, as this can lead to shoulder injuries and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise.
Push the bar back up until your arms are straight. Make sure to use your chest muscles to push the bar, not just your arms.
