Pro Tip

**Controlled Movements**: Avoid using momentum to lift the weights. This is a common mistake that can lead to shoulder injury. Instead, use your muscles to lift and lower the weights in a slow, controlled manner. **Correct Grip**: When holding the dumbbell or barbell, ensure that your grip is firm but not overly tight. Your palms should face towards your body in the initial position. **Avoid Overextending**: Avoid lifting the weights above shoulder height. Overextending can put too much strain on your shoulder joints and lead to injury. The weights should only be lifted until they are at shoulder level. **Right Weight Selection
