Shoulder Drive

No fixed sets or repetitions are prescribed in the source video; trainees can determine rep count or work in timed intervals. 1 set and 60 seconds rest are app defaults.

Key points

  • Keep both hands behind the back to avoid instinctively grabbing the legs and isolate body drive
  • Measure distance with back hand, take penetration step, and drive shoulder directly into partner's hip/waist line
  • Keep ear tightly glued to partner's hip and look past their back
  • Drive through partner with trail leg to push them back onto their heels
  • Catch the trailing leg up into a short squat base rather than hinging over at the waist

Common mistakes

Reaching with hands; failing to glue ear to the hip; standing up with hips tilted back instead of recovering the trail foot into a short squat.
