November
There was a request for a simplified version for the clap push-up, so here it is!
Assume standard push-up position. Keep your back in a neutral position so that you feel no discomfort or pain in your back. Keep your hands, measuring from your outside finger, about 6 to 8 inches (about 15 – 20 cm) outside your shoulders. The key difference vs. the standard clap push-up is that you will use you knees as part of your base rather than your feet. Keep your knees together or slightly separated (~2 to 3 inches or ~5 to 8 cm).
By making this change, there is less weight for your pectoral muscles to move during each rep; so the exercise is now easier. Do not worry; you will still be able to DO SOMETHIN’!
Question or comments? Let me know.
Enjoy.
