Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid momentum — if swinging is required, the weight is too heavy.
- 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
Regression:
Reduce weight by 30% and use a cable or machine variation to better isolate the target muscle.
Progression:
Add load, increase time under tension with a slower tempo, or progress to a unilateral variation.
Common Problems:
No peak contraction — enforce a 1-second squeeze at the end range before the return.
