Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 2. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 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.
