In this brief instructional video, the speaker explains that the push pattern—also known as the chest press, bench press, or push‑up—is one of the seven primal movements. While many people associate it primarily with chest development, the speaker emphasizes that it is a compound movement involving a coordinated effort of multiple muscles (pectorals, lats, shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, hand muscles) and joints (wrist, elbow, shoulder). The explanation highlights the necessity for these body parts to work together to execute the movement effectively.

The push pattern, also called the chest press, bench press, or push up, is one of seven primal movements. People generally do this to work on their pecs or chest. But it's not just a chest exercise. It's a compound movement. Compound movement means there's a bunch of different muscles and joints that are involved in producing a movement. And so the chest press, however you do it, involves the pec, the lats, the shoulders, the biceps, the triceps, the forearm muscles, the hand muscle, the wrist joint, the elbow joint, the shoulder joint. They all need to coordinate themselves, along with the rest of your body, to produce the movement.
