Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  4. 4. Control the return — the eccentric is where the core works hardest.

Regression:

Use a half-kneeling position to isolate rotational demand with reduced lower-body input.

Progression:

Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.

Common Problems:

Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
