Triangular Bar Progression

Training Focus

Greater instability · advanced balance · foot and ankle reaction control

Purpose

Make any board exercise harder using triangular bars in the same setup.

How to Perform

Keep the same exercise and foot placement. Progress to the triangular bars only after you can perform the rounded-bar version with smooth, consistent control. Begin with hand support, a smaller range, and slower corrections.

Duration

2–3 sets of slow controlled reps, or 15–30 seconds per side

Coaching Cues

• Use support
• Start small
• Move slowly
• Control the return

Common Mistakes

• Treating it as speed work
• Adding too much weight too soon
• Losing alignment
• Trying triangular bars too early

Safety Note

Move slowly, use support when needed, and stay within a comfortable range. Stop if you feel sharp or worsening pain.
