Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  2. 2. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
  3. 3. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.

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:

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