Wrist Problems
Equipment:
Floor Based, Dumbbell
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Move slowly and deliberately; speed hides compensations in this position.
  2. 2. Knees hover one inch off the floor; this baseline creates foundational tension.
  3. 3. Shoulder and hip should remain the same distance apart on each rep.

Regression:

Place a light weight on the lower back and focus on not letting it fall before adding movement.

Progression:

Progress to a single-limb support: three-point bear position then dynamic movement.

Common Problems:

Lower back sagging — cue posterior pelvic tilt and rib cage down. Hip rotation on limb extension — slow down and reduce range.
