Equipment:
Dumbbell

Focus

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep the ribcage down and neutral spine — avoid arching lower back to assist.
  2. 2. Foot position and leg drive reinforce stability even in upper-body movements.
  3. 3. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

Progression:

Add a loaded vest or belt to increase total resistance without changing the movement pattern.

Common Problems:

Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
