Conseils techniques
Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Make sure your palms are facing forward and your elbows are directly under your wrists. This will give you the most power and control over the bar. Common mistake to avoid is gripping the bar too wide or too narrow, which can lead to wrist or shoulder injury.
Keep your back straight and your core engaged throughout the exercise. Avoid arching your back or leaning backward as you press the bar upward, as this can cause lower back strain. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart and firmly planted on the ground to give you stability.
Lift the bar in a slow, controlled motion.
