In my experience, many lifters leave results on the table—or worse, risk injury—due to poor setup and execution. Based on biomechanical principles, here is how you master both the setup and the movement. 1. The Setup: Engineering your Starting Position. Seat Height & Initial Tension: Adjust the seat so the handles are at shoulder level. This ensures you start from a position of abduction, maximizing deltoid involvement through the full range of motion. Lower Body Stability: Keep your feet entirely planted on the ground directly under your knees. A solid base prevents force leakage and allows for maximum power output. 2. Execution: The Path of Least Resist...
