Always wondered...

So, I have always wondered if it is possible to start from the push up position, and explosively push yourself up to a standing position, And if it is, what it would be called.

I have always wanted to train for it, but if it's not actually possible, I would rather not waste time trying to get it, lol.

Thanks,

Matt

I'm not to sure if anyone has really tried just to explode off the floor from the push up position to their feet, there is always other muscle groups involved other than the chest and to do otherwise just using the chest will take lots of work.

Hi

At a coaching course i attended recently the presenter was an Aerobics coach, and she said that in their conditioning they have fall to push up and explode up to standing. Now at the time i didn't really click on to what she had just said, but thinking about now, i can see that she either didn't explain the exercises fully or i miss understood... OR her athletes are doing something seriously right.
