Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Shoulder and hip should remain the same distance apart on each rep.
  2. 2. Knees hover one inch off the floor; this baseline creates foundational tension.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

Reduce the lever arm — keep limb extensions shorter until the base position is stable.

Progression:

Increase the lever arm — extend limbs further before adding load or movement.

Common Problems:

Head drooping — keep eyes looking down and slightly forward to maintain cervical neutral.
