clap push-up

Airborne chest exercise

A clap push-up is a plyometric exercise where you push off the ground with enough force to clap your hands before landing.

The explosive movement builds upper-body power beyond what standard push-ups provide.

Some variations include double claps or behind-the-back claps: He finished his set with ten clap push-ups.
