Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Rotation initiates from the hips and thoracic spine, not the lumbar.
  4. 4. Feet anchored and hip-width apart unless the drill specifically calls for a step.

Regression:

Slow the tempo to a 3-count rotation and 3-count return before adding speed or resistance.

Progression:

Progress to a split-stance or single-leg position to reduce base of support and increase stability demand.

Common Problems:

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