This challenging push-up variation involves explosive movements with a clap between repetitions. It builds upon the standard push-up, requiring greater strength, power, and coordination. A typical execution begins in a standard push-up position, then propels the body upwards with enough force to allow for a brief hand clap before returning to the ground.
The exercise primarily develops the pectoral muscles, triceps, and anterior deltoids. The dynamic nature of the movement further enhances explosive power, beneficial for athletic performance in disciplines requiring rapid upper body strength. Attributed to the renowned boxer, this demanding exercise reflects the rigorous training regimes often associated with combat sports, emphasizing both strength and speed.
