Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
- 2. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
- 3. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Perform from the knees or elevate hands on a bench to reduce the bodyweight load. Use resistance bands for assistance on overhead patterns.
Progression:
Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.
Common Problems:
Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
