Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
- 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
- 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 4. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.
Common Problems:
Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
