2021-03-27 Push Press

Evaluator: Tucker Jones

Movement: Push Press

Areas of Excellence

• Good progression (using Push Press Progression)
• Good movement through athletes
• Good time management

Areas for Improvement

• demo - feet wide + low back arched
• don’t say “you can drop the barbells”
• have athletes wrap all fingers around barbell (if possible)
• position where you can see more athletes
  • around perimeter vs in the middle
• Stay and watch athletes after cue
• keep working to fix fault
  • mix up variety of cues

Thoughts for improvement

Have you tried all the types of cue - verbal, visual, tactile?

Identify common faults for the movement and prepare different cues for that movement.

e.g. Athlete dips too low and doesn’t ‘get it’ when you say use a 2” dip.

-> cue through showing them what they are doing and how you’d correct it

-> “dip until your bar hits my hand”
