Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Maintain upright posture; leaning back or forward offloads the target muscles.

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:

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