Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

You should feel it inChest

A wide stretch across the chest as the arms open, then a squeeze like hugging a big tree.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Soft elbows, hug a big tree.”

Tempo · Open 3 s · squeeze 1 s

Choosing the load: Pick a weight you finish with 1–2 good reps left. 4+ left = too light; form breaks = too heavy.

Feel it in ShouldersGoing too deep or too heavy. Stop when the arms line up with the chest and use lighter weights.
Feel it in Front of armsElbows bending and turning it into a press. Lock a slight bend and move only at the shoulders.
Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.

Anchor the band behind you at chest height and step forward until it is taut.
Stand with feet hip-width apart and brace your core before each rep.
Keep most of your weight on the front leg; the back foot is for balance.
Pulley height changes the focus: high-to-low for the lower chest, low-to-high for the upper chest.
Keep your chest up and shoulders back throughout the arc.
Pick a band tension that lets you finish every rep with good form.
