Pause for a moment at the top of the movement to ensure control.
Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position behind your head, making sure to maintain proper form and control throughout the movement.
Repeat this motion for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring you maintain correct posture and do not rush the exercise to avoid injury.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: One common mistake is to use momentum to lift the weight, which can lead to injury. Instead, focus on controlled, slow movements. Push the barbell up over your head until your arms are fully extended, then slowly lower it back down. This will engage your muscles more effectively and reduce the risk of injury. Keep Your Elbows In: Another common mistake is to let the elbows flare out to the sides. Try to keep them in line with your body, pointing forward. This will help to better target the shoulder muscles and reduce the risk of shoulder injuries. Avoid Arching
