Push-Press is a basic exercise for activating the core of the body and proper transfer of force from the bottom to the upper extremities. The core of our body is the "body zone". Push-Press training requires a very strong power belt as well as very good coordination for the transition from push to push.
Method of Execution
- A) Place the bar on your shoulders with your arms open at a width slightly wider than your shoulders.
- B) The elbows are lower and further in front of the bar.
- C) Your legs open approximately the width of the hips with the soles parallel to each other.
- D) Your torso in the form of an arch (lordosis).
- E) Start by bending your knees to about 1/5 of the Squat.
- F) Keep your torso tight and perpendicular to the ground.
- G) Stretch your hips and knees explosively.
- H) Press the bar with your shoulders and hands until the arms are fully extended above your head.
From Shoulder Press to Push Press the movement becomes more and more functional and more suitable for heavier weights. This fact is increasingly based on the power zone. In the Push Press exercise the power belt provides the main impetus for execution.

You most likely did a push-up at some stage in your life before beginning CrossFit, but you may not have done the full spectrum of motion pushups we use in CrossFit. Your arms should be absolutely straight at the top, and your chest should be in touch with the ground at the bottom.
The most critical thing is to ensure that your core and shoulders are kept active to support your back and shoulder joints.
You will need to change your pushups before you start.
Instead of starting on your feet, work on your fingers, but position your hands on a box so that your upper body is lifted.
Start as high as you need to get your chest to the box for each pushup, and over time you can lower the box's height before you finally take out the pushups on your toes at ground level like an army trooper!
