Incline Push Up Depth Jump

A combination exercise targeting both upper body strength and lower body explosiveness by utilizing incline push ups and depth jumps.

Instructions

• Start in a push-up position with your hands elevated on a sturdy platform or step.
• Perform an incline push-up by lowering your chest towards the platform and then push explosively back up.
• As you push up, move your feet forward and transition into a standing position.
• Immediately perform a depth jump by stepping off the platform and landing softly on the ground with knees slightly bent.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Dropping hips too low during the push-up phase.
• Not pushing explosively enough to transition between the push-up and jump.
• Failing to land softly during the depth jump, increasing risk of injury.
• Incorrect knee alignment during the landing.
