Technique and mistakes
Keep your elbows close to your body; don't raise your shoulders.
Perform a full range of motion without swinging your body.
A neutral grip reduces stress on your elbows at the top.
If you experience elbow discomfort, switch to dumbbells and a cable machine.
Who should be careful?
Severe shoulder or elbow pain, recent injuries, or post-surgery training should only be done with a doctor's approval.
