How to Do Drop Push

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the drop push.

How to do it

1. Position low boxes or other platforms 2-3 feet apart.
2. Move to a pushup position between them, supporting yourself by placing your hands on the boxes.
3. With good posture, drop from the platforms by pressing up and moving your hands to shoulder width, cushioning your landing by absorbing the impact through the arm.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
