COT:

Modify exercises to match your readiness; honor your limits. Build from there. The most effective movement is one performed with near-perfect technical proficiency—this maximizes mechanical tension while minimizing structural risk. Chasing the ‘hardest’ version often forces compensation, compromising joints rather than stimulating hypertrophy. Honor your restrictions to keep the stimulus safe and repeatable. Consistency over years will always outperform intensity over weeks.
