Solo Edge Protocol Setup

Ergonomic solo setup for deliberate edge training: support, hand positioning, and breath anchors treated as form cues.

Inserting / supporting3/5

Receiving / driving3/5

Consent, respect, and the right to stop are non-negotiable. Standards

Setup

1. Solo: timer, stop rule, and a surface you can leave. Treat the diagram as a stance + breath drill, not a performance for an imaginary audience.
2. Build Solo Edge Protocol Setup (Solo practice frame) from the diagram: Reclined solo: heels, breath, and a timer. The mannequin is a stance cue only.
3. Workload is 3/5 (inserting / supporting) and 3/5 (receiving / driving). Stay inside a range you can exit cleanly — difficulty 1/5, intensity 3/5.

Three cues

· Timer, stop rule, surface you can leave. The mannequin is a stance cue, not a show.
· Reclined solo: heels, breath, and a timer. The mannequin is a stance cue only.
· Self-talk scripts

Two common faults

· Performing for an imaginary audience instead of running the timer.
· No stop rule, so the set only ends when you are already gripping.

Abort

· Stop for sharp pain, numbness, panic-adjacent breath, or a spoken / non-verbal stop — no debate.
· If control drops under 6, the set is over. Log it honestly.
· Avoid compulsive second sessions; log and close.

Hold the Solo Edge Protocol Setup stance for 45 seconds at RPE 3 with a timer. Soft jaw, easy breath. The drill is this shape, not a plank or a hip thrust.
