Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Control the return — the eccentric is where the core works hardest.
  4. 4. Keep tension on the cable or band throughout — do not let it go slack at any point.

Regression:

Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.

Progression:

Combine with a lower-body load to create a full-chain rotational pattern.

Common Problems:

Collapsing the torso toward the load — reinforce upright posture before the rotation begins.
