Pushing

My biggest weakness is my push. I just cant seem to get good hard pushes. Does anyone have good tips for improving your push strength/speed?

Run up stairs to increase muscle power and explosiveness.

What alot of people seem to forget with pushing is it's not just about getting your board moving, but just as importantly your body. Having said that I believe a large portion of the power and speed of your push comes from your upper body. Find a way of moving your arms that works for you and build a solid powerful rhythm.

Ever seen P-Swiss push of the line? His arms are a weapon.
