Keep those joints STACKED, squad! I’m talking wrists over elbows at all times. A common mistake I see in beginners is that they’ll keep the DBs directly over the shoulders even though the elbows move wider as they bend deeper. That puts a TON of tension into our elbows - OUCH.

Remember - our goal is to put tension INto our muscles & keep it OUT of our joints/tendons. Alignment is key! So we want our arms to mimic a goal post when we’re at the bottom of the movement, [like the photo above]. Or as I say in this 10sec video visual “Think Touchdown, Not Hoedown” LOL!

As always, reach out with any questions or concerns!
