Key Teaching Points:

- 2. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
- 3. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
Regression:
Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.
Progression:
Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.
Common Problems:
Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
