Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  2. 2. Feet anchored and hip-width apart unless the drill specifically calls for a step.
  3. 3. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
  4. 4. Keep tension on the cable or band throughout — do not let it go slack at any point.

Regression:

Practise the rotation pattern without load using a dowel to monitor spine position.

Progression:

Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.

Common Problems:

Lumbar rotation instead of thoracic — cue the rotation to come from above the belly button. Loss of hip position — reset and slow down.
