Focus

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Rotate to the point of tension in the end range, not until you lose spine position.
  2. 2. Feel the obliques and hip complex work together — this is a full-chain movement.
  3. 3. Imagine the spine as a fixed axis — rotation happens around it, not along it.
  4. 4. Feet anchored and hip-width apart unless the drill specifically calls for a step.

Regression:

Reduce the load or lever arm. Perform seated to remove the standing stability demand.

Progression:

Add a plyometric or power element — rotational med ball throw — once strength is established.

Common Problems:

One arm going slack mid-rotation — keep both arms engaged on the implement throughout.
