How to Do the Perfect Push Press (Complete Guide)
Build explosive overhead strength by combining leg drive with pressing power in this fundamental movement pattern.
Perfect Push Press Technique
The push press combines leg drive with upper body pressing to move heavier weights overhead. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal timing between your leg drive and pressing mechanics.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup Position:Bar at shoulder level, feet hip-width apart, core engaged
- Dip Phase:Bend knees slightly while keeping torso upright
- Drive Phase:Explosively extend legs to drive bar upward
- Press Phase:Continue pressing bar overhead as leg drive momentum peaks
- Lockout:Full arm extension with bar directly over shoulders
- Lower:Control the descent back to starting position
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Dipping too deep or forward during the setup
- Not utilizing full leg drive potential
- Poor timing between leg drive and arm press
- Pressing around the face instead of straight up
- Not achieving full lockout overhead
