Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
  2. 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  3. 3. The goal is not to move — resist the force trying to pull you out of position.

Regression:

Reduce resistance or duration by 30% and prioritise a perfect position over grinding through.

Progression:

Combine with an upper-body pull or push to challenge the core against a loaded limb pattern.

Common Problems:

Leaning away from the load instead of resisting it — reinforce the neutral position with external feedback.
