Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  2. 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.

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:

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