Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  3. 3. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  4. 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

Regression:

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

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

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