How to perform it

Extend the elbow while keeping the upper arm as stable as the variation allows. Return slowly and do not let the resistance pull the joint back abruptly. Prioritize control over speed. Maintain useful tension through the range and deliberately reset the starting position before the next repetition.

Tips

Do not turn the final repetitions into fast or partial movements. Aim to load abdominals, triceps, glutes and hip flexors and lower back without sacrificing position; at beginner level, progress control first and then add load, repetitions or complexity.
