• Lower torso to box by bending elbows. Dont allow your elbows to flare outwards more then 45 degrees as you lower down.
• Drive back up to a straight arm position to complete the push up, keeping back core and legs locket and straight.

4. Box DIP

• Straighten legs, heels on the floor, toes in the air and legs at 45 degrees angle to your hips. Your arms will now be supporting your weight.
• Dip butt towards the ground, dont allow shoulders to shrug. Keep them low.
• Slowly bend at elbow and descend down the plyo box in a straight line. Do not drop away from the box towards your feet. Stay close to the box
• Bend elbows to 90 degrees, the drive arms back up following the same vertical line to straight elbow position.
