Tips

Focus on retracting your shoulder blades and keeping them down and back throughout the exercise to protect your shoulder joints and maximize upper back engagement. Keep your elbows tucked in close to your body to target the chest muscles effectively and prevent injury. Maintain an upright posture with your chest lifted to ensure proper engagement of the pectoral muscles and avoid arching your lower back. Control the descent of the exercise by resisting the weight, feeling the stretch in your chest or triceps, and avoiding a rapid drop.
