Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Use a half-kneeling position to isolate rotational demand with reduced lower-body input.

Progression:

Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.

Common Problems:

Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
