Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  3. 3. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
  4. 4. Rotation initiates from the hips and thoracic spine, not the lumbar.

Regression:

Use a half-kneeling position to isolate rotational demand with reduced lower-body input.

Progression:

Increase load, add rotational power by speeding up the concentric, or lengthen the lever arm.

Common Problems:

Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
