Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
- 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 3. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 4. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
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 weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.
Common Problems:
Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
