Keep knees shoulder width
Even if u have to go down in weight thats ok
Form is everything
People mess up getting too caught up with how much weight they are doing. Id rather do 100 pounds correct 15 times than do 300 pounds 4 times the wrong way
1. u get no benefit doing it the wrong way
2. u risk getting injured doing it the wrong way.
So keep your knees shoulder width apart and dont extend your knee all the way out once u come up, always keep the knee slightly bent, this keeps tension on the muscle. When u extend it all the way straight, it puts the weight on ligaments, tendon and bone and it doesnt work the muscle as well.
I find the best workouts are the ones where u find the best range of motion that keeps maximum tension on muscles.
Also be sure u dont bring the weight down all the way either
Its about range of motion like I just mentioned.
