Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
- 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
- 3. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
- 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:
Progress to a harder variation: archer push-up, ring push-up, or deficit push-up.
Common Problems:
Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
