Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Squeeze glutes to reinforce pelvic neutrality and lower back protection.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Eye gaze forward and level — looking down allows the spine to flex.
  4. 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.
