    To build up speed and explosive strength, you should try doing these push ups. Basically you do a normal set of 10, but push yourself off the floor as high as you can on each rep, do this as quick as possible. You can also do a push up where your clap your hands in between each rep as your off the ground. Do 4 x 10 combined with puching drills will increase your power.

      You also might want to think about throwing a rest day in there somewhere. The body does not get stronger while you workout. It gets stronger while you rest. Not having a rest day can lead to burn-out and a decrease in gains.

        Developing explosive speed can be achieved by doing specific plyometric drills and resistance training...ie: cord drills. Since you have already included plyometric drills in your work out, begin to utilize resistance training. The plyo's you mentioned are very basic there are many, many more. Check out:



        Plyometrics should not be done everyday. Try a program including plyo's 3 days a week with a resting phase day in between. Alternate plyo's with resistance training.

        Be very careful that you are doing the plyo's correctly they are very hard on hamstrings, quads and the knee joint. Good luck

          Hey, thanks. But one question if I folloe a program such as this:
          Day 1: Plyo
          Day 2: Rest
          Day3: Plyo
          Day 4: Rest
          Day5: Plyo
          Day 6: Rest
          Day 7: Rest

          Where would I fit in the cardio? Are ther certain rules, such as I shouldn't do cardio after plyo?

              What exactly is a 'comptitor'? Sounds kinky.
