Equipment:
Sliders
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

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:

Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.

Common Problems:

Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
