Feel it right

Where you should feel it, the one cue to remember, and quick fixes when you feel it somewhere else.

You should feel it inChest

Front and side of the shoulders, with triceps helping at the top.

Key cue (the coach says it during the set)“Ribs down, brace, press straight up.”

Tempo · Lower 2 s · press 1 s

Choosing the load: Pick a weight you finish with 1–2 good reps left. 4+ left = too light; form breaks = too heavy.

Feel it somewhere else? Fix it like this

  • Feel it in Lower backLeaning back and arching to press. Squeeze glutes and abs, or sit with back support, and lighten the load.
  • Feel it in Neck / upper trapsShrugging from the start. Begin with shoulders down; let them rise only at the very top.
  • Feel it in Back of armsElbows flared behind the body. Bring the elbows slightly forward, under the wrists.
  • Barely felt itToo light or too fast. Lower for 3 seconds, pause 1 second at the stretch, and pick a load that leaves only 1–2 reps in the tank.
  • Joint painSharp or joint pain is a stop sign: end this set, lower the weight, shorten the range — if it repeats, switch to an easier variation.

During a workout we ask after the first set where you felt it and give the fix right away — and remember it for next time.

Tips

  • Keep most of your weight on the front leg; the back foot is for balance.
  • A shoulder-friendly way to train the upper chest without a bench.
  • Keep your core braced so your lower back doesn't arch as you press.

Common mistakes

  • Leaning back and turning it into an overhead press.

Breathing

Exhale as you press, inhale as you lower.
