Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.

Common Problems:

Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
