How to perform Bodyweight Push Press with proper form
Starting Position
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold your arms at a 90-degree angle, elbows slightly below shoulder level.
- Keep your core engaged and maintain a neutral spine.
Execution
- Dip: Slightly bend your knees (about 1-2 inches) to initiate the movement.
- Drive: Extend your legs explosively while simultaneously pushing your arms up.
- Press: Raise your hands above your head, fully extending your arms.
- Return: Lower your arms back to the starting position, absorbing the movement with a slight bend in the knees.
Key Points
- Maintain a tight core throughout the movement.
- Keep your head neutral; avoid leaning back.
- Ensure that your movement is fluid, synchronizing the leg drive with your arm press.
- Focus on an explosive upward movement for maximum effect.
