This not only reduces the effectiveness of the workout but also puts undue strain on your lower back, increasing the risk of injury. Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise.
• **Don't Rush:** It's important to control your movements and not rush through the exercise. The lowering phase of the exercise is just as important as the lifting phase, so make sure to lower the lever slowly and with control.
• **Don't Lock Your Elbows
