Clap Push-Up

Compound · Weight × reps

Clap only if you have enough height and time to return the hands safely; otherwise use a simple hand-release plyometric push-up. Land softly with elbows slightly bent, regain a stable plank, and reset before the next repetition. This high-impact variation develops upper-body pushing power in the chest, triceps, and shoulders. First demonstrate strong standard push-ups, use a non-slip surface, keep repetitions low and crisp, and stop when landing position or speed deteriorates.
