Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Peak contraction squeeze at the end range adds cumulative time under tension.
  2. 2. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
  3. 3. Mind-muscle connection: feel the target muscle contract, not just move the weight.
  4. 4. Small incremental overload over many weeks beats large jumps in load.

Regression:

Reduce weight by 30% and use a cable or machine variation to better isolate the target muscle.

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.
