Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Lock out fully at the top but avoid hyperextending the elbow joint.
  2. 2. Grip width affects emphasis — closer grip loads triceps more, wider loads chest more.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  4. 4. Drive the floor away on floor-based pressing — create full-body tension.

Regression:

Reduce load by 30% and shift focus to the eccentric portion of the movement.

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.
