⚠️ Most common mistake: Swinging the torso to throw the arms up — momentum cheats the side delts out of the work. Letting the elbows lock straight, which shifts load to the wrists and forearms. Raising the arms above shoulder height, where the traps take over from the side delts. Using a band too heavy for the lift, breaking form and losing the strict isolation pattern.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders.
