Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Neutral spine throughout; no rounding or hyperextension.
- 2. Progressive overload is achieved by increasing lever arm, load, or time, not by cheating range.
- 3. The load creates the demand — if it does not feel like a challenge, increase it.
- 4. Squeeze glutes to reinforce pelvic neutrality and lower back protection.
Regression:
Reduce the lever arm — bring the load closer to the body. Widen the stance for more base stability.
Progression:
Combine with an upper-body pull or push to challenge the core against a loaded limb pattern.
Common Problems:
Position breaks down before the set ends — reduce time or load and rebuild gradually.
