Exercise Description

The plyometric clapping push up builds explosive upper body power and strength. It fires up your chest, shoulders, and triceps while boosting athletic performance.

How To

1. Start in a standard push-up position with hands shoulder-width apart and body in a straight line. 2. Lower yourself down into a push-up, keeping your core tight and elbows at 45 degrees. 3. Push up explosively with maximum force, launching your hands off the ground. 4. Clap your hands together quickly while airborne during the plyometric clapping push up. 5. Land softly with hands in starting position and immediately flow into the next plyometric clapping push up rep.

Form Tips

• Generate enough explosive power to get both hands completely off the ground during each plyometric clapping push up • Keep your core rock solid throughout the entire movement to maintain perfect body alignment • Land with soft, controlled hands to absorb impact during your plyometric clapping push up • Focus on quality over quantity - each rep should be explosive and clean

Common Mistakes

• Rushing the clap and not generating enough height, making the plyometric clapping push up sloppy and ineffective • Letting hips sag or pike up, which breaks proper form and reduces power output • Landing hard with straight arms instead of absorbing impact during the plyometric clapping push up
