Instructions
1. Start by getting into a standard push-up position with your hands shoulder-width apart and back straight, aligning your head with your spine.
2. Lower your body to the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight and maintaining a straight line with your body.
3. Push up with enough force to lift your hands off the ground. This is the explosive part of the movement, and it requires strength and speed.
4. Land softly back on your hands with your elbows slightly bent to absorb the impact and immediately lower yourself into the next push-up.
5. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions and sets or for a set period.
6. Ensure you maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your core engaged to avoid any strain on your lower back.
Remember, this is an advanced variation of the push-up and should be performed with caution. It's important to master the basic push-up before attempting explosive push-ups to reduce the risk of injury.
