Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Mind-muscle connection: feel the target muscle contract, not just move the weight.
- 2. Symmetry between sides matters — if one side compensates, reduce load and address the gap.
- 3. Rest 60–90 seconds between sets to maintain quality without full recovery.
- 4. Full range of motion is non-negotiable — half reps recruit half the fibers.
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:
No peak contraction — enforce a 1-second squeeze at the end range before the return.
