Optimal speed during resistance training is two seconds for lifting each weight.
The descent should be done slowly to maximize muscle engagement.

Effective calf raises involve raising and lowering the heels.
Maintain a slight forward lean with feet positioned shoulder-width apart for balance.

A bicep curl exemplifies a concentric contraction, where the muscle shortens while exerting force during the lifting phase.

A "set" refers to a specific number of repetitions (reps) performed consecutively without resting.

In a push-up, the body should rise and lower to maintain a 90-degree angle at the elbows.
Ensure a flat back throughout the exercise to maintain proper alignment and prevent injury.
