Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  2. 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  3. 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  4. 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.
