Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the lower half stable while the upper body rotates — or vice versa depending on the drill.
- 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.
Progression:
Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.
Common Problems:
Lumbar rotation instead of thoracic — cue the rotation to come from above the belly button. Loss of hip position — reset and slow down.
