moving on to the next block.
Technique before load - if the weight is too heavy to use the correct technique, drop the load.
Whatever weight you do use your first time doing these sessions, you should look to increase
weight the next week. You can alternatively increase the reps.
Any exercise can be swapped for an alternative to achieve the same goal in a different way -
don't push through pain/injury. Change the exercise.
At a bare minimum, this session should be performed twice per week separated by a days rest.
