Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: This exercise involves lowering the dumbbell until your elbow is at a 90-degree angle, then pressing it back up to the starting position. It's important to perform this motion in a slow, controlled manner. Avoid the temptation to use momentum or to perform the exercise too quickly, as this can lead to poor form and potential injury. Use Appropriate Weight: Using a weight that's too heavy can compromise your form and increase your risk of injury. Start with a lighter weight and gradually increase as you get stronger. The last couple of reps should feel challenging, but you should still be able to maintain good form. Avoid Locking Your Elbows: When pressing the dumbbell
