Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 3. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
- 4. Symmetry between sides matters — if one side compensates, reduce load and address the gap.
Regression:
Increase rest between sets to full recovery and reduce rep count to prioritise range and form.
Progression:
Add load, increase time under tension with a slower tempo, or progress to a unilateral variation.
Common Problems:
Dominant side compensating for the weaker — use unilateral work to expose and address the imbalance.
