"Plyometric push up will improve your hand speed and punching power." And destroy your wrists if you do it on a hard surface. You should've added that.
@@johnsmith-tq5zn I've been doing Plyo Push-ups on hard surfaces for years without any issues - and I'm yet to meet a person that's suffered wrist pain from them. Combat athletes are even less likely to have trouble with them than the general population since they have strong hands, wrists and forearms already from striking or grappling. Fix your form and work up to it through normal Push-ups and incline plyos. If that doesn't help, just don't do them.
Try to make each set challenging but prioritise proper exercise execution as a beginner. ✅️ Once you're familiar with the movements, you can opt for higher reps (12+) and shorter rest periods (30-60 seconds) for most of these exercises to boost muscle growth and muscular endurance. Keep in mind that high reps and sets with short rest periods can result in significant muscle soreness. The only exception are plyometric exercises like the Broad Jump or Tuck Jump where you want to keep your efforts explosive. With plyos rest for at least 2-3 minutes once the movement slows down. This will also reduce injury risk under fatigue. Hope this helps! 🤝
