Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  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:

Reduce the lever arm — bring the load closer to the body. Widen the stance for more base stability.

Progression:

Increase the lever arm or add external resistance. Introduce a perturbation to make the hold reactive.

Common Problems:

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