Conseils techniques
As you press, your knees should be in line with your feet, not caving inwards or bowing outwards. This is a common mistake and can lead to knee injuries. Always keep your back and hips against the seat during the movement to avoid lower back strain.
Avoid the mistake of using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, use a slow and controlled motion, pressing the weight up and then lowering it back down. This ensures you're working the muscles effectively and not just relying on momentum.
Another common mistake is fully extending and locking the knees at the top of the press. This puts unnecessary strain on the knee
