Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Lifting the hips off the bench to use momentum instead of curling cleanly with the hamstrings. Letting the dumbbell slip between the feet by relaxing the squeeze mid-rep. Rushing the lower portion and dropping the weight back to the start, missing most of the muscle tension. Loading too heavy, which forces broken form and risks dropping the dumbbell on the floor.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Hamstrings.
