Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
  2. 2. Keep the lower half stable while the upper body rotates — or vice versa depending on the drill.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Rotate to the point of tension in the end range, not until you lose spine position.

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:

One arm going slack mid-rotation — keep both arms engaged on the implement throughout.
