Conseils techniques
One common mistake people make is fully extending their legs to the point where their knees lock out. This can put a lot of pressure on the knee joints and can cause serious injury. Instead, keep a slight bend in your knees even at the top of the movement.
It's important to control the weight throughout the entire range of motion. Avoid the temptation to let the weight drop quickly or bounce at the bottom. This can lead to a loss of control and potential injury. The slower and more controlled the movement, the more muscle fibers you'll engage.
