Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  2. 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  3. 3. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
  4. 4. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

Progression:

Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.

Common Problems:

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