Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  3. 3. Maintain lat tension throughout to create a stable platform for the press.
  4. 4. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Add a dynamic component — clap push-up or plyo push-up — once the strength base is established.

Common Problems:

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