Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. The goal is not to move — resist the force trying to pull you out of position.
  2. 2. If the position breaks down, rest and reset rather than grinding through poor form.
  3. 3. Squeeze glutes to reinforce pelvic neutrality and lower back protection.
  4. 4. The load creates the demand — if it does not feel like a challenge, increase it.

Regression:

Use a wall for hand or shoulder support to reduce the stability demand of the position.

Progression:

Add a dynamic component while maintaining the static resistance: hip tap, shoulder tap, or arm reach.

Common Problems:

Lower back extension substituting for core tension — cue rib cage down and posterior pelvic tilt.
