Hi Marcus,

You are looking okay on this one. You can see in your video that your shoulders are pulling away from the bar as you twist. This is happening because you are generating the twist with your arms and shoulders rather than from the core. Keep working on generating the twist using only your core muscles. As you twist, try to keep your shoulders in contact with the bars.

It is difficult to tell because of the angle of the video, but it looks like your feet might be dropping below your waist as you get tired. Make sure to keep your feet at hip height throughout your entire set.

You might also find this exercise to be more comfortable with a small mat behind you. Even something small like a carpet square will help quite a bit.

Keep working hard!

Thank you so much for the insight, will keep working on that. I do find it very difficult to twist without using my shoulders though!

Hi Marcus,

Happy to help. Be patient and you will see yourself improve little by little.
