Plyometric Movements: Plyo Push-Ups

Instructions

Start on the knees in an upright position with hips forward, the arms fully extended and either a partner or an apparatus fixing the feet in a locked position.  Fall forward naturally using gravity and keeping the hips locked in the forward position. Make contact with the ground absorbing the force soft and quietly with the upper body. Once the chest has reached about an inch from the ground, explosively press the body back into the original position while not bending at the hips. Common Error is hitting the floor too stiff and/or bending the hips during the movement.
