Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.

Regression:

Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.

Progression:

Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.

Common Problems:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
