Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
- 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
- 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
- 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.
