Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing through the movements. Instead, focus on slow, controlled movements. As you push the weight out, squeeze your chest muscles, hold for a second, and then slowly bring the weight back to your chest. This will help to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury. Appropriate Weight: Another common mistake is using a weight that is too heavy. This can lead to poor form and potential injury. Choose a weight that allows you to complete the exercise with proper form and control. If you find your form slipping, it may be a sign that the weight is too heavy. 4
