Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
  4. 4. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.

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:

Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
