Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  4. 4. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

Progression:

Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.

Common Problems:

Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
