Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  2. 2. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  3. 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:

Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.

Common Problems:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
