Bar

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep elbows at roughly 45 degrees from the torso on a chest press.
  2. 2. Full range of motion: chest to the object on the way down, full lockout at the top.
  3. 3. Set the shoulder blades before pressing — retract and depress, then press.

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:

Uneven lockout — identify the weaker side and address with unilateral assistance work.
