Pro Tip

Elbow Position: Your elbow should be kept at a 90-degree angle and tucked into your side throughout the exercise. A common mistake is to allow the elbow to drift away from the body, which can reduce the effectiveness of the exercise and increase the risk of injury. Slow and Steady: Perform the rotation slowly and in a controlled manner. Avoid the temptation to rush through the movement or use momentum to swing the weight, as this can result in poor form and potential injury. Appropriate Weight: Start with a light weight and gradually increase as your strength improves. Using a weight that is too heavy can lead to improper form and potential injury. Regular Breaks: Take regular breaks to
