FOR INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES EXERCISE IS PERFORMED AT SUB-MAXIMAL SPEED!



Lower the chest to the medicine ball and forcefully extend the arms to propel the upper body into the air. While in the air shift the body towards the medicine ball so that the opposite arm rests on it as the chest descends back to the floor. Rapidly extend the arms at the bottom of the pushup to perform another rep with minimal contact time with the medicine ball. The upper body should return to the initial position.
