Conseils techniques
Avoid jerking or using momentum to lift the weight. This is a common mistake that can lead to injuries. Instead, lift the barbell by elevating your shoulders as high as possible, hold for a moment, and then lower it back down in a controlled manner.
Focus on the muscles you're working. This means really feeling the contraction in your traps when you lift the weight and not just going through the motions. This mind-muscle connection can help you get the most out of the exercise.
Another common mistake is using too much weight.
