Mark Gangloff USA 100 meter Olympic Swimmer: Plyo Push Up

Mark Gangloff, a 2008 Olympic swimming competitor for the USA 100 meter breaststroke, demonstrates the Plyo Push Up. His swimming strength and conditioning coach, Chris Ritter, talks through technique. Watch Mark race at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing! So after the bench press we recruited a large group of muscle fibers there, kinda doing a slow movement then weÕre going to the parametric pushup where we have to recruit those same muscle fibers but quickly. So this is where we get the power and real reactive forces so then theyÕd go in the water hopefully transfer that. Just make sure you can control and really ease into the parametric stuff, coz these guys had been training for a long time so some of them were doing the full body parametric pushups where everything is off the ground. ThatÕs really advanced. You want them to start easy, maybe just hands coming off the ground instead of full body. With that, it is 12 there and four sets. WeÕre vertically loading it so you hit. You donÕt go stay on one exercise and go four sets and then youÕre next one you go one set through, so youÕre kinda cycling through like in circuit style. That way it allows them more recovery for each exercise so thatÕs a maximum effort, especially on the reactive stuff like a parametric pushup. You donÕt want to be very tired or anything like that.
