Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
  2. 2. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  3. 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.

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:

Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
