Form reminders that keep range of motion and control in check once the basic pattern feels stable.

  • Controlled Movement: Pull your chest up towards the handles until your body forms a slight 'V' shape, then lower yourself back down in a controlled manner. Avoid quick, jerky movements which can lead to injury and won't effectively engage your muscles.
  • Engage Your Core: Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise. This will help maintain proper form and protect your lower back. A common mistake is letting the lower back sag
