Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 3. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
Regression:
Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.
Progression:
Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.
Common Problems:
Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
