AIi Instructions
- 1. Starting Position: Lie on a decline bench, securing your feet under the pads. Grip the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width. Retract and depress your scapulae, engage your glutes, and brace your deep abdominal wall to create rigid intra-abdominal stability. Unrack the barbell, holding it stable above your lower chest.
- 2. Eccentric Lowering: Inhale deeply into your abdomen and begin a slow, controlled descent of the barbell towards your lower chest. Focus on feeling a deliberate tensile stretch in the target muscles.
- 3. Transition & Pause: Briefly pause at the bottom of the movement for a fraction of a second, maintaining complete muscular tension and avoiding any bouncing off the chest.
- 4. Concentric Drive (Explosive): Execute a dynamic, explosive upward movement, driving the barbell forcefully and rapidly back up along its optimal trajectory. Exhale forcefully past the biomechanical sticking point. Focus on maximal acceleration of the barbell.
- 5. Peak Contraction: At full arm extension, without hyperextending your elbows, squeeze the target musculature firmly for a fraction of a second.
- 6. Safety: Maintain constant muscular tension and control over the barbell. Always use a spotter when lifting heavy weights.
