- None
- Equipment:
- Floor Based, Wall Based

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Squeeze glutes to reinforce pelvic neutrality and lower back protection.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Eye gaze forward and level — looking down allows the spine to flex.
- 4. If the position breaks down, rest and reset rather than grinding through poor form.
Regression:
Perform a static hold (plank or pallof press hold) before adding movement to the drill.
Progression:
Add a dynamic component while maintaining the static resistance: hip tap, shoulder tap, or arm reach.
Common Problems:
Position breaks down before the set ends — reduce time or load and rebuild gradually.
