Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
- 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
- 3. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 4. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.
Common Problems:
Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
