Upper Push
Contraindications:
Wrist Problems
Equipment:
Floor Based, Low Bands
Applicability:
Group&Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
  2. 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  4. 4. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

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.
