Coaching Tips & Progression Advice
- Keep the glutes squeezed and pelvis posterior-tilted to prevent lumbar hyperextension.
- Ensure the chest reaches within 2 inches of the floor on every rep for complete range of motion.
- Spread the fingers wide into the floor to optimize wrist comfort and pressing leverage.
