How to Do the Perfect Clapping Push-Up (Complete Guide)
Master the clapping push-up — the explosive movement that builds upper body power and coordination.
Perfect Clapping Push-Up Technique
The clapping push-up is an explosive plyometric exercise that develops upper body power, coordination, and fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures maximum power output with safe landing mechanics.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Standard Setup:Start in perfect push-up position with hands slightly wider than shoulders
- Explosive Push:Lower into push-up then explosively drive up with maximum force
- Clap Phase:As hands leave ground, quickly clap hands together at chest level
- Safe Landing:Return hands to starting position and absorb landing with controlled descent
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Insufficient explosive force to achieve proper airtime
- Poor landing mechanics leading to wrist strain
