Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  3. 3. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  4. 4. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.

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.
