No, the way these videos and others are demonstrating plyos does not fit the definition of plyos. Plyos need to set off a myotatic reflex. reflexes are involuntary. these exercises are all under voluntary control.
the only way to set off the reflex is to use things like a wobble board. that ensures firing of the reflex since you don't know what comes next.
99.9% of what you see being called a plyo is a simple body weight exercise. Yet to see a real plyo by anyone.
google myotatic reflex

is plyometrics different from bodyweight exercises?

Theses are by no means plyometric exercises.
The strech-shortening-cycle is way too long for being called "shock-level".
I'd rather recommend two 8-inch-high boxes to drop in between and immediately push-up on surface contact. It's crucial to eliminate the landing-phase and to limit the stretching amplitude to a minimum.
Heavier athletes might wanna use boxing gloves and drop onto their fists instead of their palms for wrist protection.

lol Feel like working out all the time after seeing a exercise video.

Pylo is supposed to be about exploding, not going MORE SLOWLY. These are slower than standard pushups.

plyos are suppose to be explosive

plyometrics are suppose to be explosive movements... Nevertheless good video.

first one seems more like a GHR to me not like a pushup

Thats not the way to do Plyo pushups. You are supposed to start from the bottom and push explosively upwards then have a bit of a pause before you push back up. |
