Exercise Types:
Upper Push, Core Resist
Contraindications:
Shoulder Issues/Mobility
Equipment:
Straps, Floor Based
Applicability:
Group&Focus
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
No

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  2. 2. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
  3. 3. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.

Regression:

Perform a wall push against a vertical surface to learn shoulder packing with zero load.

Progression:

Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.

Common Problems:

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