Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Mind-muscle connection: feel the target muscle contract, not just move the weight.
  2. 2. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
  3. 3. Full range of motion is non-negotiable — half reps recruit half the fibers.

Regression:

Perform the unilateral version first to identify and address side-to-side imbalances.

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.
