Pro Tip

Avoid Rushing: A common mistake is to rush through the movements. Each rep should be performed in a controlled manner, focusing on the muscle contraction and relaxation. Rushing through the exercise can lead to improper form and potential injury. Keep Elbows Close: Keep your elbows close to your head throughout the movement. Allowing them to flare out to the sides can put unnecessary strain on your shoulders and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise on your triceps. Avoid Using Momentum: Another common mistake is using momentum to lift the weights. This can result in not fully engaging your triceps and
