Starting position:
Starting at the top of the push up position. Line up hands with chest, slightly turned out, so elbow are angles away from body, but below shoulders. Core is activated like a plank to keep spine neutral. Body in a straight line, from head to heels.
Movement:
Maintaining a straight line from head to heels throughout the entire movement, lower yourself to the bottom position, and without stopping, transition explosively back up. The force upward may allow your hands to leave the ground. Body ends up no lower then 3-6 inches from the ground before pressing back up.
