Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
- 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 3. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
- 4. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
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.
