Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
  2. 2. Mind-muscle connection: feel the target muscle contract, not just move the weight.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. Peak contraction squeeze at the end range adds cumulative time under tension.

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:

Going to failure too early — leave 2 reps in reserve to maintain form quality throughout the set.
