However, there are certain situations where it may be best to avoid this exercise.Firstly, individuals with wrist or shoulder injuries should avoid this exercise as it can put strain on these areas and worsen the injury. It is always important to consult with a doctor or physical therapist before starting any new exercise if you have a pre-existing injury.Additionally, those with low back pain or spinal issues should avoid this exercise as it involves lying on your back and lifting weight overhead, which can put strain on the spine. Alternative exercises that target the same muscle groups without putting pressure on the spine should be chosen.Lastly, individuals who are new to weightlifting or have weak wrists and forearms should avoid this exercise until they have built up enough strength and stability in these areas. Starting with lighter weights and gradually increasing the weight over time is recommended.
