Exercise FAQ

Does grip or stance matter?

Yes—small changes can shift what you feel and how stable you are. Pick the most controlled position and keep it consistent while you learn the movement.

What should I focus on to keep good form?

Move with control and keep your torso stable. Use a range of motion you can own, and stop the set if you need momentum to finish reps.

What’s a common mistake people make here?

Rushing reps and losing body position. Keep the movement smooth and repeatable so tension stays where you want it. Think of it as controlled movement done with repeatable, clean reps.
