Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Eye gaze forward and level — looking down allows the spine to flex.
  3. 3. Neutral spine throughout; no rounding or hyperextension.
  4. 4. Foot width affects stability; narrower feet increase the anti-lateral demand.

Regression:

Perform a static hold (plank or pallof press hold) before adding movement to the drill.

Progression:

Progress to a single-limb support position: one-arm plank, single-leg hold.

Common Problems:

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