Trainer’s Tips

  • Be sure to perform the movement with a controlled pace.
  • Do not lower the weight too quickly. Control it on the way back down.
  • Do not hyperextend through the lower back. Brace you core and keep your spine flat throughout the entire movement.
  • Do not allow the elbows to flare. Keep your elbows tight to your sides the entire time.
