Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid momentum — if swinging is required, the weight is too heavy.
- 2. Controlled eccentric creates the stimulus; the concentric is the reward.
- 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.
