Key Teaching Points:

- 2. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
- 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
Regression:
Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.
Progression:
Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.
Common Problems:
Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
