Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.
  2. 2. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

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:

Elbows flaring wide — keep at 45 degrees from the torso to protect the shoulder. Arching lower back — engage abs and glutes.
