⚠️ Most common mistake: Bending and straightening the elbows mid-rep, which turns the lift into a triceps extension. Lowering the bar too fast, which strains the front shoulders without loading the lats. Lifting the lower back off the bench, which removes tension from the lats and stresses the spine. Using too much weight, which forces the elbows to collapse and breaks the overhead arc.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Selkälihakset.
