Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
- 2. Symmetry between sides matters — if one side compensates, reduce load and address the gap.
- 3. Breathing: exhale on the working portion, inhale on the return.
- 4. Bilateral and unilateral variations each have a role — do not skip single-limb work.
Regression:
Use a tempo of 3 seconds down, 1-second pause, 1 second up to remove momentum at a lighter load.
Progression:
Use advanced techniques: drop sets, rest-pause, or 1.5 reps to extend effective volume.
Common Problems:
Using momentum to complete reps — reduce weight and slow the tempo. Partial range of motion — use full stretch-to-contraction on every rep.
