Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rotate to the point of tension in the end range, not until you lose spine position.
- 2. Feet anchored and hip-width apart unless the drill specifically calls for a step.
- 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Practise the rotation pattern without load using a dowel to monitor spine position.
Progression:
Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.
Common Problems:
Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
