Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
  2. 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

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.
