⚠️ Most common mistake: Arching the lower back hard off the pad to use the chest, which strains the spine and loses the shoulder focus. Letting the handles drift forward instead of pressing straight up, which puts unnecessary load on the front shoulders. Locking the elbows out hard at the top, slamming the joint instead of stopping with control. Letting the weight drop fast on the way down and skipping the slow lowering portion of every rep.

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