DO

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

  • Brace and breathe
  • Keep hips controlled
  • Quality before speed
  • Finish each set with clean technique
DON'T

WHAT TO AVOID

  • Do not hold your breath for the entire set.
  • Do not continue after the hips, ribs, or lower back lose position.
  • Do not choose speed over control.

STEP BY STEP

MOVE WITH CONTROL.

  1. Set a strong starting position and brace gently.
  2. Move while keeping the ribs and pelvis controlled.
  3. Breathe steadily instead of holding your breath.
  4. End the set when position or rhythm begins to break.
STOP IF SOMETHING FEELS WRONG.

Muscle effort is expected; sharp pain, dizziness, numbness, or unusual discomfort is not. Reduce the load or range, stop the exercise, and seek qualified guidance when needed.
