Hold under tension: If you have trouble with the movement of an exercise and feel like you need some help building up your supporting muscles, isometric exercises (ones where you hold a position rather than flexing your muscles) are a great way to build up your strength and muscular endurance.

This will quickly give you a great burn when you do it right!

Go hard, but not TOO hard!
