Tips & Warnings
Always keep your back straight and stomach muscles pulled in to protect the back.
Do not bring your head forward. Keep it straight to prevent straining the neck muscles.
Be sure to use weights that you can lift with a little challenge. If you cannot perform the movement with proper body positioning or you are straining to lift the weight up and down, then change to a lighter weight.
