Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the elbows flare wide to 90 degrees, which strains the front shoulders and reduces chest engagement. Pressing the handles in different paths, causing one side to dominate and creating uneven loading. Cutting the lockout short, missing the chest-squeeze position at the top of the press. Lifting the head or hips off the bench for leverage, which destabilizes the press.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Chest. The Triceps assist.
