Breathe in and push the handles upwards until your arms are fully extended, but be careful not to lock your elbows.
Pause for a moment at the top of the movement and then slowly lower the handles back down to the starting position as you exhale.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain proper form throughout.
Pro Tip
Proper Grip: Hold the lever handles with your palms facing each other (hammer grip). Your hands should be level with your shoulders.

Controlled Movement: Push the handles upward until your arms are fully extended but not locked out at the elbows. Then, slowly lower the handles back to the starting position. Avoid the common mistake of rushing the movement or using momentum to push the handles. This not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise but also increases the risk of injury. Breathing Technique: Inhale as you lower the handles and exhale as you press them upward. Proper breathing
