- 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 3. Breathing: exhale on the working portion, inhale on the return.
- 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
Regression:
Reduce weight by 30% and use a cable or machine variation to better isolate the target muscle.
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.
