Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  3. 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  4. 4. 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:

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