i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup & Core Bracing: Lie securely on a bench or mat holding a single dumbbell with a wide grip orientation, elbow flared appropriately. Retract scapulae and brace core and glutes.
  2. 2. Eccentric Phase (Full Descent): Lower the dumbbell in a controlled arc until a deep stretch is achieved across the pectoral region.
  3. 3. Half-Rep Integration: Press the weight halfway up, lower it back down to the stretched bottom position, and then perform a full press to the top to complete one 1.5-rep sequence.
  4. 4. Concentric Drive & Breathing: Exhale forcefully through the sticking point on the final upward push, avoiding elbow hyperextension at lockout.
