Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
  2. 2. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  3. 3. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.

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:

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