Yes, and I avoid certain movements because of it

Nothing specific, I mostly want better programming and feedback

My low back takes over

My ribs flare or I arch harder as it gets difficult

My knees cave, shift, or do not feel controlled

I feel restricted or blocked before I can get into a good position

I wobble, collapse, or lose position under load

The movement is mostly fine, but I need better progression and feedback

When you brace during a core exercise or lift, what usually happens?

I can stay braced and still take small controlled breaths

I can do it with light exercises, but not when it gets harder

I mostly hold my breath

My ribs flare or my low back moves when I breathe

I have never paid attention to that
