Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 2. Avoid momentum — if swinging is required, the weight is too heavy.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Use a tempo of 3 seconds down, 1-second pause, 1 second up to remove momentum at a lighter load.
Progression:
Add load, increase time under tension with a slower tempo, or progress to a unilateral variation.
Common Problems:
No peak contraction — enforce a 1-second squeeze at the end range before the return.
