2. Once mastering your basic push up you can move on to explosive push ups. push ups while pushing away from the ground. At the very top of the push up, push your body as explosively as you can. At first this will be probably not even leaving the ground, but just getting up faster than you have in the past. Practice this not for an amount of reps but for an amount of height. Keep a low rep range like 3-5 and just try to go higher each time. 00:26
