Exercise FAQ
How should I program this in a workout?
Use it after your warm-up when you’re fresh. Aim for 2–4 sets and choose a rep range that matches your goal (strength: lower reps; muscle: moderate reps). Think of it as pressing done with repeatable, clean reps.
What should I do if I feel it in the wrong place?
Check your setup, slow down, and reduce weight. If discomfort is sharp or in a joint, stop and choose an easier variation. Think of it as pressing done with repeatable, clean reps.
What’s the safest way to progress over time?
Add a small amount of reps first, then load. If technique slips, step back and rebuild with cleaner reps.
