Key Teaching Points:

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

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:

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.
