Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  2. 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.

Regression:

Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.

Progression:

Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.

Common Problems:

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