Clap Push-Up

How to

The clap push-up is an explosive upper body movement that builds power and fast-twitch muscle strength. It adds a plyometric challenge to the traditional push-up by requiring the hands to leave the ground mid-rep. Start in a strong push-up position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width and core engaged Lower your body explosively and push off the ground with enough force to lift your hands. Quickly clap your hands together at chest level before returning them to the floor. Land with soft elbows to absorb the impact and immediately move into the next rep
