Pro Tip
**Don't Rush**: A common mistake is rushing through the reps. This can lead to improper form and potential injury. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. Lower the barbell slowly, pause for a moment when your elbows are at a 90-degree angle, and then push the weight back up to the starting position. **Avoid Using Excessive Weight**: Another common mistake is using too much weight. This can lead to straining your elbows or wrists. Start with a lighter weight until you feel comfortable with the movement
