- 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)

- from the bottom, pause and contract the pecs before beginning the ascent
