Form cues

• —Lead with the elbows and finish by squeezing the target muscle.
• —Keep a neutral spine; stop the set if it rounds.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
• —Bouncing into the stretch instead of holding it.
