Isometric-Explosive Pushup is a whole-body workout that increases power and endurance demands and strengthens the entire body.

Step 1
Take a standard push-up position with your arms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Step 2
Keeping your core tight, slowly lower your body to the floor, bending your elbows close to your body. When your chest is about two inches from the floor, pause and prepare to push back.
Step 3
Push off sharply until your elbows are fully extended, and your arms are off the floor. Land softly.

Isometric-Explosive Pushup targets Delts, Pecs, Total Body, Triceps as seen below.

Do not hyperextend the neck. Keep a long, neutral spine.
Avoid moving your hips out of alignment. Instead, keep your core tight and your back straight throughout the movement.
