How to do it
The plyometric push-up is done by pushing hard enough to lift your hands off the floor.
In a push-up position, hands slightly wider than shoulders, core braced.
Lower with control, then push explosively to lift your hands off the ground, and catch yourself by absorbing the impact with slightly bent arms.
Master standard push-ups before this one, and stop the set as soon as the landing becomes heavy.
