Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Maintain even pressure through both feet or both hands — no leaning to one side.
- 2. Eye gaze forward and level — looking down allows the spine to flex.
- 3. Foot width affects stability; narrower feet increase the anti-lateral demand.
- 4. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
Regression:
Reduce the lever arm — bring the load closer to the body. Widen the stance for more base stability.
Progression:
Increase the lever arm or add external resistance. Introduce a perturbation to make the hold reactive.
Common Problems:
Position breaks down before the set ends — reduce time or load and rebuild gradually.
