This exercise can help build strength in athletes at any level, from novices just getting started on their fitness journey to seasoned pros looking for an extra edge in their performance. Like a grand master chess player making strategic moves with his pieces, mastering this exercise will require precision and finesse when it comes to proper form and mechanics – but if done correctly, you'll be rewarded with increased power, balance and stability. So let's take our time here; after all, Rome wasn't built in a day!
