Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
  2. 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  3. 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  4. 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

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:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
