Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Bilateral and unilateral variations each have a role — do not skip single-limb work.
- 2. Small incremental overload over many weeks beats large jumps in load.
- 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Increase rest between sets to full recovery and reduce rep count to prioritise range and form.
Progression:
Progress to a free-weight from a machine variation once motor pattern is established.
Common Problems:
Using momentum to complete reps — reduce weight and slow the tempo. Partial range of motion — use full stretch-to-contraction on every rep.
