Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rotation initiates from the hips and thoracic spine, not the lumbar.
- 2. Speed of rotation should be deliberate; power can be added once mechanics are clean.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Slow the tempo to a 3-count rotation and 3-count return before adding speed or resistance.
Progression:
Increase load, add rotational power by speeding up the concentric, or lengthen the lever arm.
Common Problems:
Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
