Trunk rotation in squash: a guide for adult players
A boast or a cross-court length that needs a compact turn in a narrow room. The useful decision is whether the next gym session should support trunk rotation, or protect the next match.
What this situation asks
A boast or a cross-court length that needs a compact turn in a narrow room. That setting asks for rotation and anti-rotation as supporting labels, not as a technique substitute. This is a reading of the sport, not a sets-and-reps prescription.
The next-session trade-off
A reasonable option is to keep rotational gym work light when the week already has a lot of reaching and turning. The trade-off is clear: more med-ball throws do not become better boasts, they only change the gym question.
