Exercise Type:
Upper Push
Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.

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:

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