Hey Everyone, 

 

Had a question about haiwaiian squats - regarding F1 SLS, in some sets I lose balance and fall to the side, and need to hop to catch my balance. I have the requisite strength to do the 5 reps in some sets tho. Is this OK or is the standard "5x in the same place, no hopping, tipping, or falling" ? 

 

Please let me know. Just want to know if I should work more on these or move on since the balance will come with time. Thanks!

The exercise purpose is to work on balance, not only strength, so if you don't have the balance and you fall, you need to continue working on it until you'll get the balance.

If balance is your problem it should be fixed soon. Only do quality and perform them slower than what you did earlier. Balance will catch up.

 

You can also practice balance at a higher frequency, like you should GTG until balance is no longer a problem compared to your strength.

Your goal is to master each element. Does "lose balance and fall to the side" sound like mastery to you?
