Trainer’s Tips

  • Start with lighter weights to focus on form and range of motion.
  • Perform a full range of motion for each rep making sure to return to the starting position before beginning the next rep.
  • Do not round your upper back or use any momentum to move the weights. Keep the focus on your wrists and forearms.
