Exercise tips and tricks

Use a neutral grip to target your rear delts effectively.
Ensure your palms are facing down when you initiate the row.
Set the bench to a 45-degree incline.
Rest your chest against the bench to support and stabilize your back, minimizing strain and preventing momentum.
Keep your core tight throughout the exercise to maintain stability and ensure proper form.
Keep your elbows slightly bent and at a 90-degree angle as you row the dumbbells, ensuring they move directly out to your sides.
Avoid flaring your elbows too much to prevent unnecessary shoulder strain.
Focus on a slow, controlled motion both when lifting and lowering the dumbbells. This ensures maximum muscle engagement and reduces the risk of injury.
Exhale as you row the dumbbells up.
Inhale as you lower them back to the starting position.
Concentrate on squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. This ensures you're engaging the target muscles effectively.
Start with lighter weights to master the form before progressing to heavier loads. Proper technique is crucial for avoiding injury.
