Side Squat With Medicine Wood Chop

A. Stand with your feet slightly wider than a hip's distance apart. Grasp a medicine ball with both hands, holding the ball just above your right shoulder as if it were an axe that you were getting ready to swing.
B. Bend your left knee and lower yourself into a half squat, keeping the right leg extended. As you bend your knee, swing your axe (the ball) in a diagonal wood-chopping motion, bringing the ball toward and just past your left knee. Rise to the starting position. Repeat to complete 12 to 15 sets, then switch sides.

i just tried this out. great workout! had my heart rate up and got me pretty sweaty. @originalamy - i really struggled with the plyometric push ups, especially after all the other arm exercises. i ended up just doing regular push ups and focused on pushing up with force. hopefully i'll be able to do them as plyometrics soon.
