Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathing: exhale on the working portion, inhale on the return.
  2. 2. Bilateral and unilateral variations each have a role — do not skip single-limb work.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

Regression:

Perform the unilateral version first to identify and address side-to-side imbalances.

Progression:

Use advanced techniques: drop sets, rest-pause, or 1.5 reps to extend effective volume.

Common Problems:

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