Plyo Kettlebell Pushups

Place a kettlebell on the floor. Place yourself in a pushup position, on your toes with one hand on the ground and one hand holding the kettlebell, with your elbows extended. This will be your starting position. Begin by lowering yourself as low as you can, keeping your back straight. Quickly and forcefully reverse direction, pushing yourself up to the other side of the kettlebell, switching hands as you do so. Continue the movement by descending and repeating the movement back and forth.

Plyo Kettlebell Pushups primarily trains the chest, with the shoulders and triceps contributing. The exact demand depends on your setup, range, and chosen load.

Set stable contact points and a secure grip before pressing. Control the lowering phase and press through a comfortable, repeatable path. Use suitable rack safeties or assistance for heavy barbell work; avoid sudden changes in position.
