Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  2. 2. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  3. 3. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.

Common Problems:

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