Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid momentum — if swinging is required, the weight is too heavy.
  2. 2. Controlled eccentric creates the stimulus; the concentric is the reward.
  3. 3. Peak contraction squeeze at the end range adds cumulative time under tension.

Regression:

Increase rest between sets to full recovery and reduce rep count to prioritise range and form.

Progression:

Add load, increase time under tension with a slower tempo, or progress to a unilateral variation.

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.
