None
Equipment:
Floor Based

Group&Focus

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
  2. 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  3. 3. Control the eccentric — lower in roughly twice the time it takes to press.
  4. 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.

Regression:

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

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.
