Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Plyo Push-Up.
The Plyometric Push-Up is an explosive bodyweight exercise that trains chest power and fast-twitch muscle fibers. By driving the hands off the floor at the top of each rep, it develops upper-body reactive strength and neuromuscular coordination.
The Plyo Push-Up is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
