Beginner's guide
§ 03 · GuideBuilds the shoulders and upper back, improving upper body strength for everyday lifting and gym exercises.
You should feel it in your shoulders and upper back, not mostly in your wrists or arms.
A common mistake is pulling the bar too high or using mostly your arms. Lead with your elbows and stop around chin height.
