Switch stance
Your weakest stance — more pop, and watch your shoulders and weight.
- Pop harder: you're popping with your 'wrong' (non-dominant) back foot.
- Square your shoulders and stay centered — you'll be inclined to over-rotate backward.
- Treat it like relearning the trick from scratch; reps build the muscle memory.
