Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 2. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
- 3. Rotation initiates from the hips and thoracic spine, not the lumbar.
Regression:
Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.
Progression:
Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.
Common Problems:
Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
