None

Bar
Applicability:
Group&Focus
Superset?:

Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  3. 3. Rotate to the point of tension in the end range, not until you lose spine position.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.

Progression:

Combine with a lower-body load to create a full-chain rotational pattern.

Common Problems:

Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
