Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 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.
