Conseils techniques
Choose a weight that is challenging but manageable. Too heavy can lead to poor form and increased risk of injury. Too light, and you may not get the full benefits of the exercise. Start with a lighter weight to practice your form and gradually increase as your strength and technique improve.
Aim to lower your body until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. Going too low can put unnecessary strain on your knees, while not going low enough may not fully engage your muscles.
