Have you heard about the training principle called muscle confusion? Well in this article we're going to change up our workouts and specifically target the chest.
Because sometimes you literally need a kick in your chest to get the deep inner cuts in your pecs. Maybe your chest hasn't been responding to isometric exercise as it should. Or perhaps you have been applying muscle confusion training to your workouts and are using adjustable dumbbells. Well, it's time for your training to get turbocharged with a plyometrics workout.
I'm talking about using plyometric moves. Explosive plyometrics forces your body to trigger fast twitch muscle fibers. Why is this important? Because of these fibers have the greatest potential for strength gains. The exercise we are going to do is called... the plyo pushups or plyometric pushups -- and this exercise is a real doozy. It will help train your muscle fibers to produce a greater amount of force in a very short period of time. You don't need your Perfect Push up exerciser for this one.

* Second, position yourself in between the boxes and get yourself into the push up position... with your hands on the boxes your feet on the floor and arms extended. Make sure you keep your back flat.

You must land on top of the boxes with your hands, your elbows bent and then repeat the exercise.
