Common mistakes

What goes wrong.

  • ×Rounding the back, compromising spinal health.
  • ×Standing too upright, reducing the focus on the back muscles.
  • ×Using momentum or swinging the weight, rather than controlled pulls.
  • ×Not achieving a full stretch at the bottom or a full squeeze at the top.
  • ×Gripping too tightly, over-engaging forearms and biceps.
