Why: Trains upper body power — chest, shoulders, and triceps. Upper body strength and explosiveness play
an active role in delivering speed through the club.
Coaching cue: Hands on a bench or box. Lower under control, then push up explosively so hands leave the surface. The higher you elevate your hands, the easier it is — and vice versa. If ballistic push-ups are too challenging, regular push-ups with hands elevated are a good alternative.
