Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Foot width affects stability; narrower feet increase the anti-lateral demand.
  3. 3. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
  4. 4. The load creates the demand — if it does not feel like a challenge, increase it.

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.
