Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  2. 2. Peak contraction squeeze at the end range adds cumulative time under tension.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  4. 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.

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:

Dominant side compensating for the weaker — use unilateral work to expose and address the imbalance.
