The one cue
Lead with the elbows. Bar to the top of the chest, no swinging.
The same cue Kynetix shows on this lift during a workout.
How to progress
Use double progression. Pick a weight you can lift for 10 clean reps on every set. Each session, try to add a rep or two. When every set reaches 15 reps with good form, add the next pin on the stack and start again near 10. Kynetix suggests the next weight from your own last sessions, so you don't have to remember what you lifted.
How Kynetix tracks it
- Log each set in a tap with weight and rep steppers. Your last set sits right there.
- The rest timer starts on its own after every set.
- Personal records are spotted as you lift, using an estimated one-rep max (weight x (1 + reps / 30)).
- Kyno suggests the next weight from your own history.
