Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  2. 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.

Common Problems:

Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
