Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Rounding the lower back as you twist, which loads the spine instead of the obliques. Moving only the arms side to side without rotating through the torso, missing the oblique work. Putting the feet down between reps, which removes most of the core stability demand. Loading too heavy, which forces a swinging cheat rep and loses the controlled rotation.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Keskivartalo. The Keskivartalo assist.
