How to perform Incline Push-Up Depth Jump

  1. Place a low stable box behind you and two stable aerobic steps just outside your hand positions.
  2. Put your feet on the box and your hands on the floor between the steps, holding your body straight.
  3. Lower your chest by bending your elbows, then press explosively enough for your hands to leave the floor.
  4. Move your hands outward onto the steps and bend your elbows to absorb the landing.
  5. Push from the steps and return your hands to the floor between them, again absorbing the landing with bent elbows.
  6. Keep your torso aligned throughout each transfer and reset when you can no longer land under control.
