⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the hips sag toward the floor mid-hold, which removes the obliques from the work and loads the shoulder. Rotating the chest toward the floor instead of keeping the torso stacked and squared up. Placing the supporting elbow ahead of or behind the shoulder, which strains the shoulder joint. Holding your breath through the set instead of breathing steadily, which cuts hold time short.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Keskivartalo.
