- Exercise Specific:
- lean forward with chest up, abs contracted, knees bent and slightly in front
- keep shoulders as well as elbows pulled back / scapula retracted (no internal / external rotation of the shoulders throughout)
- squeeze hands inwards / toward each other from start to finish (‘intent’)
- when descending, ensure shoulders are pulled-back

- from the bottom, pause and contract the pecs before beginning the ascent
- when reaching the top, avoid locking shoulders – instead keep squeezing the hands towards each other.
