Tips

Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement to engage your core and prevent excessive back strain. Keep your elbows close to your sides to focus the effort on your arm muscles and avoid swaying. Drive forcefully through your front heel to power the upward movement and fully extend your hips. Control the dumbbells as you lower back to the starting position to maintain stability and prevent momentum from taking over.
