Plyo Push-up

What it is

This explosive variation of the classic push-up builds power in your upper body. It primarily targets your chest, while also engaging your shoulders and triceps for a full upper body push.

Technique tips

• Maximize your upward force to get airborne.
• Land softly with bent elbows to absorb impact.
• Maintain a straight, rigid body from head to heels.
• Control your descent before exploding powerfully upward.
• Breathe out forcefully as you push up.
• Incorporate a clap for an increased challenge.

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
