Kneeling Plyo Push-Up

The kneeling push-up driven hard enough for the hands to leave the floor; land on soft elbows and go straight into the next rep.

How to do it

Setup

Kneeling push-up position, hands under the shoulders, body straight from knees to head.

Steps

  1. Lower the chest toward the floor under control.
  2. Press up explosively so the hands leave the floor.
  3. Catch the floor with bent elbows and sink into the next rep.

Common mistakes

Catching on straight arms: the elbows bend as the hands touch. Hips folding at the knees: keep one line from knees to head. Pushing on after the pop is gone: power sets end early.

Breathing

Sharp exhale on each push.
