Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
  2. 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.

Progression:

Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.

Common Problems:

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