Tips

Focus on driving the handles forward through your palms to maximize chest engagement and power. Maintain a flat back throughout the exercise to protect your spine and ensure proper form. Control the weight as you slowly return to the starting position to build strength and prevent injury. Consciously keep your shoulders down and back to avoid shrugging and target your chest muscles effectively.
