  2. 2. Eccentric phase: Inhale and lower the handles in a controlled manner toward your lower chest, feeling a deep stretch in the lower pectorals.
  3. 3. Concentric phase: Drive the handles upward and slightly inward in an arc, exhaling forcefully through the sticking point.
  4. 4. Safety: Maintain core stability throughout the heavy 5x5 set and avoid locking out your elbows at the top.
