Floor Based

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
  3. 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.

Regression:

Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.

Progression:

Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.

Common Problems:

Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
