Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
- 2. Maintain upright posture; leaning back or forward offloads the target muscles.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.
Progression:
Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.
Common Problems:
Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
