Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 3. Breathe in short, sharp bursts — do not hold breath for the full set.
- 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:
Combine with an upper-body pull or push to challenge the core against a loaded limb pattern.
Common Problems:
Position breaks down before the set ends — reduce time or load and rebuild gradually.
