Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
Regression:
Perform from the knees or elevate hands on a bench to reduce the bodyweight load. Use resistance bands for assistance on overhead patterns.
Progression:
Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.
Common Problems:
Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
