Tip
IMPORTANT: Before performing this exercise, make sure you are performing it correctly. Have your execution checked by a qualified fitness trainer in your gym to avoid injury!
Find a stable stance before you start and shift your weight evenly onto your feet. Not too much on your toes and not too much on your heels. Keep your legs almost straight and engage your entire core throughout the exercise. Always move the barbell along your body and never hold it too far away from your body. This creates torque on your spine, which can lead to serious injury. Always keep your back straight and avoid a hunched back. If you notice that you are getting a hunchback in the lumbar region, choose a lighter weight. Perform the movement evenly and in a controlled manner and don't let the barbell fall.
TIP: Feel free to use pulling aids so that your forearm does not become the limiting factor.
