Upper Push
Contraindications:
Shoulder Issues/Mobility
Equipment:
Step
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  2. 2. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
  3. 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  4. 4. Control the eccentric — lower in roughly twice the time it takes to press.

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:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
