Conseils techniques
Hold the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing your body) and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Avoid holding the barbell too tightly or too loosely as this can strain your wrists.
Lift your shoulders straight up towards your ears as high as possible, then lower back down in a controlled manner. Avoid using your biceps to lift the barbell, as this can lead to muscle imbalance and injury. The movement should be driven by your trapezius muscles, not your arms.
A common mistake is to roll the shoulders back at the top of the movement.
