After everyone adjusts the weights, you need to tighten the handle with both hands and maintain an upright position. Draw in your abdomen and raise your chest. Shrugs are also absolutely not allowed. It is most suitable to open the elbows between 100 and 120 degrees. At this time, our arms should be parallel to the shoulders, or it does not matter if it is more than a little.
