Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 3. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
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:
Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
