Weighted Drop Push Up
The weighted drop push up is an advanced plyometric chest exercise that involves explosive push-ups with alternating hand positions, performed with added weight for increased resistance. This movement challenges strength, power, coordination, and control, making it suitable for experienced individuals.

- 2.Lower your chest towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body.
- 3.Once your chest is just above the ground, explosively push yourself up, lifting your hands off the ground.
- 4.As you push up, quickly move your hands out to the sides and slightly forward, allowing your body to drop down towards the ground.
