Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. The load creates the demand — if it does not feel like a challenge, increase it.
  2. 2. Neutral spine throughout; no rounding or hyperextension.
  3. 3. Foot width affects stability; narrower feet increase the anti-lateral demand.
  4. 4. The goal is not to move — resist the force trying to pull you out of position.

Regression:

Perform a static hold (plank or pallof press hold) before adding movement to the drill.

Progression:

Increase the lever arm or add external resistance. Introduce a perturbation to make the hold reactive.

Common Problems:

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