Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 2. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
- 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
- 4. 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:
Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
