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. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.

Common Problems:

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