Shoulder Issues/Mobility, Wrist Problems, Lower Back Problems
Equipment:
Floor Based, High Bands
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  2. 2. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
  3. 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.

Progression:

Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.

Common Problems:

Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
