Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
- 2. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 4. Control the return — the eccentric is where the core works hardest.
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:
One arm going slack mid-rotation — keep both arms engaged on the implement throughout.
