Key Teaching Points:
- 1. The goal is not to move — resist the force trying to pull you out of position.
- 2. Hips and shoulders should remain in the same plane throughout.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Reduce resistance or duration by 30% and prioritise a perfect position over grinding through.
Progression:
Add a dynamic component while maintaining the static resistance: hip tap, shoulder tap, or arm reach.
Common Problems:
Lower back extension substituting for core tension — cue rib cage down and posterior pelvic tilt.
