⚠️ Most common mistake: Swinging the torso back to throw the dumbbells up, which steals work from the front delts. Lifting past shoulder height into the upper traps, which removes the front delt focus. Bending the elbows heavily mid-rep, which turns the lift into a curl-and-press hybrid. Going too heavy and shrugging the shoulders up at the top instead of keeping them pinned down.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Shoulders.
