Push-up (Explosive)
How to do it
- Start in a standard push-up position with hands just outside shoulder width and body in a straight line.
- Brace the core and squeeze the glutes to prevent the hips from sagging.
- Lower the chest under control until it is a few inches from the floor.
- Drive forcefully through the chest and triceps so the hands leave the floor at the top of the rep.
- Land with bent elbows to cushion the impact before immediately resetting for the next rep.
- Exhale sharply on the explosive push and avoid rushing the controlled lowering phase.
