1. Brace your core on every lift — imagine someone about to poke your belly.
2. Control the lowering phase (2-3 seconds) — that is where muscle grows.
3. Keep the spine neutral — no rounding under load.
4. Full range of motion with lighter weight beats half-reps with heavy.
5. If form breaks, the set ends. Always.
How to use this guide: start gently, listen to your body, and stop any exercise that causes pain. Progress gradually — consistency beats intensity.
