Hey @Ben !

Thanks for your answer. The issue here is not the weight, but limited shoulder mobility that triggers quite an important back arching, so I prefer to replace this exercise by stretching - see [Overall posture check and correction before weightlifting - #5 by Ben](https://forum.freeletics.com/t/overall-posture-check-and-correction-before-weightlifting/563/5) 🙂
