Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Eye gaze forward and level — looking down allows the spine to flex.
- 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 3. If the position breaks down, rest and reset rather than grinding through poor form.
- 4. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
Regression:
Use a wall for hand or shoulder support to reduce the stability demand of the position.
Progression:
Combine with an upper-body pull or push to challenge the core against a loaded limb pattern.
Common Problems:
Leaning away from the load instead of resisting it — reinforce the neutral position with external feedback.
