Group

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
  2. 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  3. 3. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  4. 4. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.

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:

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