It can be employed by anyone – novice to advanced trainers – but the key is to start with a very light weight and master the proper exercise form. Technique is very important but weight is not. Most will find this movement requires a much lighter weight than expected. To be effective, and for safety, one must maintain complete control over the movement, which is performed through a fairly limited range of motion. As with any bending or rotational exercise, improper technique could leave the lower spine area susceptible to injury. As long as proper technique and weight are used the risk of injury is low.
