Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Exhale on the press, inhale on the way down.
  2. 2. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
  3. 3. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest 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:

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.
