Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

Regression:

Perform from the knees or elevate hands on a bench to reduce the bodyweight load. Use resistance bands for assistance on overhead patterns.

Progression:

Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.

Common Problems:

Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
