Why it matters for golf
Pressing strength supports the arm speed and lead-side stability golfers need through impact. The floor limits the range, which keeps the shoulder in a safer position while still loading the chest, shoulder, and triceps.
Coaching cues
- Set the shoulder blade down and back before you press.
- Let the elbow land soft, about 45 degrees from the body.
- Press to a full lockout, wrist stacked over elbow.
- Keep the trunk braced. No arching for extra range.
Common faults
- Bouncing the elbow off the floor.
- Elbow flaring wide and the shoulder rolling forward.
