Exercise Description

The plyometric push up builds explosive upper body power and strength. It fires up your chest, shoulders, and triceps while boosting athletic performance.

How To

1. Start in a standard push up position with hands slightly wider than shoulders 2. Lower your chest to the floor with control, keeping your core tight 3. Push up explosively so your hands leave the ground at the top 4. Land softly with bent elbows and immediately go into the next plyometric push up 5. Complete your reps with consistent explosive power on each plyometric push up

Form Tips

• Keep your core locked tight throughout the entire plyometric push up movement • Land with soft elbows to absorb impact and protect your joints • Focus on explosive power up rather than how high you get during each plyometric push up • Maintain straight body line from head to heels

Common Mistakes

• Landing with locked elbows instead of absorbing impact softly • Letting your hips sag or pike up during the plyometric push up motion • Not going low enough on the down phase before the explosive plyometric push up
