Conseils techniques
Lower the barbell slowly in an arc behind your head while keeping your arms extended. Pause when your upper arms are in line with your torso, then bring the barbell back to the starting position in the same slow, controlled manner. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to swing the barbell, as this can lead to muscle strain and won't effectively target the intended muscles.
One common mistake is bending the arms during the movement. Try to keep your arms as straight as possible throughout the exercise, only bending at the elbows slightly if necessary. This will help to better target the lats and chest
