 Hello everybody, I'm Lance Goyki. Today we're talking about a power variation for training your push-up. It's the clap push-up, which I'm sure you've seen before. It's really common in gym classes around the world. The idea is I'm pushing so hard that my hands come up off the ground and I'm training that over speed component. I'm eliminating the slowing down portion. Let's just do a quick little intro on reps. So when you normally do reps, where it's like one after the other after the other, you're spending almost half the time slowing down. It's good for building up fatigue and it's good for stressing the force that you produce, but if you are playing a sport and you're trying to get faster, there's no time component to it, right? You're spending all this time slowing down, but you're not working on your power output, which is really important for sports. And sometimes just general people trying to push up their abilities after you've done a year, year and a half of training consistently, you need to start doing some weirder stuff. So power training is one of those. So the clap push-up removes that slowing down and I just kind of drive through the whole thing. You don't have to actually clap, but it's kind of fun too. So I'm gonna try. Set up the same way, tuck my hips, push my neck away from the ground and I go down quick to load my muscles quickly, stretch the shortening cycle for those who are curious. And that helps me come up quicker. So just like that. Now, I have not structured my upper body workout the way that I would generally recommend doing something like this. So normally you're gonna put this in the beginning of your workout when you're pretty fresh. I've already shot like seven videos, I think. And my muscles are getting tired. So I am not training pure power right now. This is slower than I would be if I were fresh. So I would encourage you, don't waste your time with this when you're fatigued. So all you're gonna do is just slam your joints into the ground and you're not gonna train any power anyway, you're just gonna train fatigue. Which you can do in other ways that are safer and more friendly on your joints. But that is the clap pushup.
