Tips

To protect your lower back, consciously tighten your core muscles throughout the exercise, drawing your belly button towards your spine. Keep your elbows close to your body to isolate the shoulder muscles and prevent unnecessary strain. Press your hand directly upward, imagining you're pushing against a ceiling, to ensure proper shoulder engagement. Maintain a neutral spine, avoiding any arching or rounding of your back, to promote stability and prevent injury. Ensure your wrist remains aligned with your forearm, avoiding any bending or deviation, to protect your wrist joint.
