Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
- 2. Control the eccentric — lower in roughly twice the time it takes to press.
- 3. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.
Common Problems:
Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
