Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
- 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 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.
