Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Control the eccentric — lower in roughly twice the time it takes to press.
  2. 2. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  3. 3. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  4. 4. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.

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.
