How to perform Bodyweight Push Press with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Hold your arms at a 90-degree angle, elbows slightly below shoulder level.
  3. Keep your core engaged and maintain a neutral spine.

Execution

  1. Dip: Slightly bend your knees (about 1-2 inches) to initiate the movement.
  2. Drive: Extend your legs explosively while simultaneously pushing your arms up.
  3. Press: Raise your hands above your head, fully extending your arms.
  4. 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.
