Exercise Tips
- Perform the movement at a controlled pace without allowing momentum to build up.
- Don't swing dumbbells. Let them rest in the bottom position before starting the next rep.
- Don't overexert yourself in your lower back. Prepare your core and keep your spine straight throughout the movement.
- Don't let your elbows expand. Keep your elbows pressed to your sides at all times.
