Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 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:

Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
