Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Bilateral and unilateral variations each have a role — do not skip single-limb work.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
  4. 4. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Progress to a free-weight from a machine variation once motor pattern is established.

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.
