Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  2. 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.

Regression:

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

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

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