- Shoulder Issues/Mobility
- Equipment:
- Floor Based, Kettlebell

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.
- 3. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
Regression:
Use a machine or cable variation to learn the pressing path before loading a free-weight version.
Progression:
Add weight, increase tempo on the eccentric, or progress to a single-arm variation for greater stability demand.
Common Problems:
Wrist collapse under load — reinforce a stacked wrist and consider a neutral-grip variation.
