i am in week 7 and last workout i only did 10. im not sure how many i could do if i started the routine with these though. i think i did thirteen or so before i started p90x. the thing thats been bothering me is that im losing size in my chest and biceps. i hope it was just fat.
man how do you do these? I do the claps with no problem, when I try to jump my feet too, I loose my balance all the time. Should I try to go faster, jump my upper body higher or both or what?
I push up fast with my arms and spring off my toes on my way up. You can use the momentum to get your lower body off the floor. It is more of a timing issue than a strength issue.
Maybe you can try hopping of the floor from the push up position without clapping to kind of get the hang of it. Then put the clap it there once you have the timing down.
i tried these tonight after yoga during my recovery week of phase 1 and I must say at the start of this program i don't think i could have done one and I pulled off 10 of them no problem.
I have told many people that these are easier than they look. When I convince them to, at least, try them, they find that they can do it. We often limit ourselves mentally.
