Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1For each lift, focus on quality over quantity; prioritize form over the load.
- 2Take adequate rest between attempts, typically between 2-3 minutes, to ensure you can perform at your best for each lift.
- 3Consider using a gradual weight progression as your lift might peak at a different weight than expected; start conservatively and increase.
- 4Pay attention to your bar path in lifts: it should remain vertical for the best mechanics.
- 5Use cues such as 'chest up' for the back squat and 'hips under the bar' for the shoulder press to maintain proper posture.
Safety Considerations
Technical Focus
Ensure proper bracing and alignment to prevent lower back injury.
