Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
- 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 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.
