Tips

Maintain a neutral neck position throughout the exercise to avoid strain and ensure proper spinal alignment. Focus on squeezing your glutes forcefully at the peak of the lift to maximize glute activation and stabilize your hips. Actively engage your core muscles by drawing your belly button towards your spine to protect your lower back and enhance stability. Lift with control, resisting the urge to use momentum, to ensure you're working the targeted muscles effectively and safely. Avoid using momentum by performing the movement slowly and deliberately, focusing on the muscle contractions throughout the entire range of motion.
