Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 2. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
- 3. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.
Common Problems:
Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
