**Disclaimer – this push progression is not rigid and serves only as a guideline as every individual needs slightly different requirements & interventions.**
This is the rough guideline we follow when taking our athletes through their push progressions. It starts with the athlete being able to hold a solid high plank position which can be nailed in warm-ups all the way through to bench press variations.
With the huge variations in athlete weights, lever lengths & relative strength each athlete can require a slightly different approach making this a guideline only but a good route of progression to be competent, strong and powerful in the horizontal push.
