Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  2. 2. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
  3. 3. 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:

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