- Contraindications:
- None
- Equipment:
- Floor Based, High Bands

- Group
- Superset?:
- No
- Sprint-able?:
- No
Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the lower half stable while the upper body rotates — or vice versa depending on the drill.
- 2. Control the return — the eccentric is where the core works hardest.
- 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
Regression:
Use a half-kneeling position to isolate rotational demand with reduced lower-body input.
Progression:
Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.
Common Problems:
Rushing the return — the eccentric is as important as the concentric; control it.
