••• Advanced Explosive Power
Plyometric Push-Ups
Why This Matters for Boxing
Explosive tricep power for the snap at the end of your cross. The push-up explosion mirrors the moment of impact — your hands leave the ground just like your fist leaves your guard. This is raw punching power.

- 2Lower yourself to the bottom of the push-up.
- 3Explode upward so your hands leave the ground.
- 4Clap if you can, or just lift the hands.
- 5Land softly and immediately go into the next rep.
