Explosive press ups

Press ups are one of the most under-rated exercises out there, and yet still one of the most commonly known moves. The press up can be applied in many different forms to target different muscle groups; chest, triceps, shoulders, core and also can be performed at incline/ decline positions to give different results.

 This particular version of the press up will help to boost not only the fast twitch muscle fibres in your chest and triceps, generating your explosive power, but is also a great cardio workout if performed in an interval training style. It really helps with compound moves such as bench press and chest press as well as improving your reflex arch in your triceps for that explosive edge.

I suggest performing the move in 30-45 second intervals for 3 sets with a 30 second break in between sets to get the best out of this training. Check out the video below to see how to do this power boosting move!
