Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  4. 4. Control the eccentric — lower in roughly twice the time it takes to press.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Losing shoulder blade position mid-set — re-cue retract and depress before the next rep.
