Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rest 60–90 seconds between sets to maintain quality without full recovery.
- 2. Controlled eccentric creates the stimulus; the concentric is the reward.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Perform the unilateral version first to identify and address side-to-side imbalances.
Progression:
Progress to a free-weight from a machine variation once motor pattern is established.
Common Problems:
Going to failure too early — leave 2 reps in reserve to maintain form quality throughout the set.
