Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  2. 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  4. 4. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.

Regression:

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

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.
