Dive Bomber Push-ups

Unlike other push ups where many of your core muscles are held static throughout the movement, in the Dive Bomber Push up, many different muscles are taken through various degrees of both extension and flexion. This does a great job of strengthening not just the muscles, but the tendons and ligaments as well. The trick to doing this exercise effectively is to use a nice, slow, controlled cadence both as you descend towards the floor, as well as when you reverse the repetition. Also, be sure to use the same path of movement in both the downward as well as the upward arch, and try to get as close as possible to the floor with your entire body.
