Conseils techniques
Hold the dumbbells with a firm grip but avoid squeezing them too tightly. Your palms should be facing your torso at the starting position. Incorrect grip can lead to wrist strain or injury.
Do not rush through the exercise. Slow and controlled movements are key to effectively working the targeted muscles. Avoid using momentum to lift the weights; instead, focus on using your muscle strength.
Another common mistake is holding the breath during the exercise. Remember to exhale as you press the dumbbell up and inhale as you lower it back down. Proper breathing helps maintain blood pressure and supplies the working muscles with oxygen.
