Technique: Start with feet hip width apart. Arms are underneath wrists maintaining a vertical forearm. Keeping the chest up, retract your shoulders and drive through the chest and triceps. Sweep your legs up and explode through the hips. Finish with the jump with arms extended with the BOSU overhead. Advantages: Great plyometric move for conditioning and building endurance of the arms, core, and chest. Faults: Elbows flare out from a lack of scapular retraction. Lower lumbar sags from poor core engagement. Arms finish in front instead of overhead from shoulder mobility. Knees are bent during the push up motion. Scaling: Movement can be performed with or without the BOSU. Pushup and jump can be removed to make the movement easier. Movement can be progressed by adding a plyometric pushup.
