Incomplete Range of Motion

Failing to fully extend the arms at the top or not lowering the handles sufficiently at the bottom reduces muscle activation and limits strength development. This can lead to plateaus and suboptimal hypertrophy.

Excessive Lower Back Arch

Arching the lower back excessively shifts the load from the shoulders to the lumbar spine, increasing the risk of lower back pain and injury, especially under heavy loads. It also indicates a lack of core engagement.

Shoulder Shrugging

Shrugging the shoulders towards the ears during the press indicates that the upper traps are overcompensating for weaker deltoids or improper form. This can lead to neck and upper trap tension and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise for the deltoids.
