Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
- 2. Breathe in short, sharp bursts — do not hold breath for the full set.
- 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Perform a static hold (plank or pallof press hold) before adding movement to the drill.
Progression:
Combine with an upper-body pull or push to challenge the core against a loaded limb pattern.
Common Problems:
Lower back extension substituting for core tension — cue rib cage down and posterior pelvic tilt.
