⚠️ Most common mistake: Setting too steep an angle near vertical, which turns the lift into an overhead press and loses chest involvement. Lowering the bar to the lower chest like a flat bench, which strains the shoulders at this angle. Flaring the elbows wide, which loads the front of the shoulders instead of the upper chest. Lifting the hips off the bench to cheat the press, which ruins the angle and risks back strain.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest. The Shoulders, Triceps assist.
