Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.
- 2. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
- 3. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
- 4. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.
Common Problems:
Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
