Short instructional transcript for the exercise "dive bomber push-up." Speaker (Ben Greenfield, per metadata) describes starting position (similar to downward dog), movement (dive down then up, with optional reverse), and variations to increase difficulty (wider feet/arms, shifting shoulders forward to emphasize planche-like strength, keeping elbows in places more load on triceps).
Okay, so this is the dive bomber push up.
You're going to start in a position, like, if you've ever taken a yoga class, downward dog. And then you're going to dive down.
And up and you can just go back. Or if you want to be advanced, you can go in reverse. What I like to do is get into a position where I can really get forward off my hands, so I'm way. My shoulders are real far out, so I'm working that planche strength with motion. You can also spread your feet and your arms a little wider.
I personally think it's harder to have your arms closer.
Because you end up being further away again with your shoulders. And also, if you keep your elbows in, ends up putting a lot of weight on your triceps. Great exercise.
