Dumbbell
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.

Regression:

Perform from the knees or elevate hands on a bench to reduce the bodyweight load. Use resistance bands for assistance on overhead patterns.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
