Mechanics
- Pattern
- push
- Equipment
- bodyweight
- Geometry
- 90° Alignment
- Energy model
- Glycolytic Pathway (10-90s)
- Target feel
- Loaded side pec stretches deep at bottom — unilateral chest work, no equipment.
- Progression
- Elevate on rings for deeper ROM; progress toward one-arm push-up.
- Regression
- Wide push-up or feet-elevated push-up as strength prerequisite.
Watch for
- Extended arm bending — misses the unilateral loading point
- Hips sagging — keep rigid plank throughout
- Not reaching near-full ROM on loaded side
Substitutions
