Knee Drive Push Ups

Summary

Knee Drive Push-Ups are a great full-body movement that helps lacrosse players develop core stability, upper-body strength, and explosive coordination. From a push-up position, players perform a push-up, quickly pop their feet underneath them to stand, and immediately drive one knee up explosively as if accelerating into a sprint. This movement trains the body to transition from the ground to an athletic position quickly—similar to reacting after a loose ball or getting up into a dodge or defensive pursuit.
