What is the goal of the 'Dip and Hold' teaching progression for push press?

  1. To practice jumping

  2. To build endurance

  3. To establish correct positioning

  4. To develop speed

The correct answer is: To establish correct positioning

The goal of the 'Dip and Hold' teaching progression for the push press is to establish correct positioning. This progression focuses on the critical movement pattern and positions that are necessary before adding the actual press. By practicing the dip and holding at the bottom position, athletes learn to maintain a proper torso angle and engage their hips and legs effectively, which are essential components for generating power during the push press. This step emphasizes the importance of body alignment and stability, ensuring that athletes can properly utilize their lower body strength to assist in the overhead movement. The other options may be valuable aspects of training in general, but they do not specifically address the primary aim of the 'Dip and Hold' progression.
