Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Knees track directly under hips and hands directly under shoulders at the start.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a resistance band around the ankles or wrists. Progress to a moving bear crawl variation.

Common Problems:

Knees drifting too high off the floor — they should hover, not float to hip height.
