Explosive Push-Ups for Power Development
A plyometric push-up variation performed by driving explosively off the floor and clapping between reps. It’s used to build upper-body speed and power by training rapid force production, making it a useful accessory when the goal is athletic explosiveness rather than maximal pressing strength.

“I'll go over and do pushes. Now, consider a pushup, which rather than me load heavy with a bench press or something like that, I'll do pushups, you know, the clapping pushup where you dynamically explode up, clap, and go down.”
