Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  3. 3. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

Progression:

Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.

Common Problems:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
