    Reps reps reps reps low weight until you get used to the motion and the effort.

    my trainer gets me to do 2 sets of 15, and on the last one, hold it for 10 seconds...and she always says lift as much as you can. your last one, should be your LAST one. if it isn't a bit of a struggle, it's not enough!
