Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load chest, shoulders and lower back without sacrificing position; at intermediate level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity. Make sure the bench is stable and that the shoulders, pelvis or feet do not shift during the set.
