Coaching Tips
Strategy
- 1Pace yourself throughout the rounds, aiming for consistent repetitions rather than going all out on the first round.
- 2For Hollow Rocks, maintain a stable position to avoid excessive strain on the lower back; focus on rhythm and control.
- 3Alligator Rolls can be challenging; be sure to breathe and transition smoothly through the roll to maintain form and avoid using momentum excessively.
- 4Keep rest at exactly one minute to aid in recovery and maintain intensity for the next round.
- 5Consider breaking down the repetitions into smaller sets if fatigue sets in during the latter rounds.
Safety Considerations
Technical Focus
Monitor for lower back strain during Hollow Rocks and Arch Rocks.
