2. Explosive Push Up (Plio PU, A Frame, Cut)
3. Explosive Support (High V and Reverse Cut)
4. Leg circle (Leg circle, Flair)
5. Helicopter

• Starting and/or finishing: one or both hands are in contact with the floor, elbows extended. Shoulders must be parallel to the floor; head in line with the spine and pelvis tucked with abdominal muscles contracted.
• Flexion of elbows: All push-ups must have, at the end of the downwards phase, a maximum distance of 10cm from the chest to the floor.
• The downward and/or the upward phase of a push up must be controlled with shoulders parallel to the floor.
• Lateral and Hinge push up, 4 phases have to be shown.
• 1 arm, 1 arm/1 leg: the distance between the feet must not exceed shoulder width. Unless otherwise stated
• Wenson push up: One leg on the upper part of the arm (Triceps) of the same side.

• Plio Push Up: A push up with the take off showing hands and feet leaving and touching the floor at the same time
• A Frame : Piked position in the airborne phase (60° between trunk and legs)
• Cut: While airborne, the legs straddle sideways and forward to land extended in rear support, feet lifted off the floor during the skill.
• Straddle cut: from 2 arms, push the floor to raise the body in airborne position – straddle cut – half twist – ending in PU/ Wenson

 

Impulse from High V support position, airborne phase and landing to push up or split position.
High V support, reverse cut: : Hands back support on the floor and back parallel the floor. Extending the legs upward and forward with a flight phase.

The starting position must be from free front support on both hands; the hips must be lifted and extended during the full rotation. Feet may not touch the floor before the completion of the circle.

Leg Circle, the hips must be lifted and extended

Flair : legs straddle,the hips must be lifted and extended during the full rotation,Feet may not touch the floor before the completion of the circle.

Flair 1/1 turns: Both hands support – kick the leading leg – following leg airborne – following leg swing forward – hips extension – body 1/1 turns with only hands supporting – ending in PU/ Wenson.

After alternative leg circles, legs close to the chest, body alignment on the upper back (feet off the floor). The legs are extended upward and forward. ½ twist initiated from the feet is made to land in push up.
