⚠️ Most common mistake: Leaning back hard to push the handles up, which turns the lift into a standing incline press and risks back strain. Letting the elbows flare straight out to the sides, which strains the front shoulders. Cutting the lockout short and missing the strongest contraction at the top. Pressing too fast on the descent and losing tension before the next rep.

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