How to do a chest tap push up

Setup:

1. Starting Position: Begin in a standard push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, body in a straight line from head to heels.

The Lift:

1. Lower Down: Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
2. Explode Up: Push yourself up explosively, generating enough force to lift your hands off the ground.
3. Tap Your Chest: While in the air, quickly tap your chest with both hands.
4. Catch and Control: Immediately place your hands back on the floor and absorb the impact by lowering into the next push-up.
5. Repeat: Continue for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips:

• Explosive Power: Focus on generating enough force to lift your hands completely off the ground.
• Quick Tap: The chest tap should be quick and light, not a hard slap.
• Maintain Control: Control your descent after the tap to avoid injuring your wrists or elbows.
