None

Wall Based
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe in short, sharp bursts — do not hold breath for the full set.
  2. 2. The load creates the demand — if it does not feel like a challenge, increase it.
  3. 3. Brace as if preparing to take a punch — 360 degrees of core tension.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Reduce the lever arm — bring the load closer to the body. Widen the stance for more base stability.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Holding breath for the entire set — cue short sharp exhales every few seconds.
