Common Mistakes
Rushing the setup of the Chest Wrap
Take time to establish proper position before initiating. A good setup leads to a successful execution.
Relying on upper body strength alone
Engage your hips, core, and legs to generate power. The strongest athletes use their entire body.
Losing balance during execution
Keep your center of gravity low and your base stable. Practice the movement at slower speeds until balance becomes natural.
