Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  2. 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
  3. 3. Stack wrists directly over elbows at the start to protect the joint.

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

Common Problems:

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