Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Stretch-to-contraction on every rep maximises fiber recruitment.
- 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 3. Peak contraction squeeze at the end range adds cumulative time under tension.
- 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:
Going to failure too early — leave 2 reps in reserve to maintain form quality throughout the set.
