The Chest Push with Run Release primarily works the chest, with the abdominals, shoulders and triceps supporting the movement. It is a plyometrics movement performed with medicine ball.
1 / 2How to
Movement instructions
Begin in an athletic stance with the knees bent, hips back, and back flat. Hold the medicine ball near your legs. This will be your starting position.
While taking your first step draw the medicine ball into your chest.
As you take the second step, explosively push the ball forward, immediately sprinting for 10 yards after the release. If you are really fast, you can catch your own pass!

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same medicine ball setup, range of motion and recording method when comparing Chest Push with Run Release sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
