Clapping Pushpus

Hi,
I just wanted to know, how many clapping pushups do you have to acheive in order to successfully achieve one hundred regular push ups?

Are they 25?

thanks for the help in advance

TKD4ever and ever

 

Front, back or double clap

 

800 CLAPS

LOL
only the front one
and thanks for the help
I really aprreciate it

 

My guess would be that it is different for everyone. I could probably do 100 pushups and maybe 40 or so clap pushups. I would venture to guess that the more clap pushups you can do, the more "standard" pushups you can do. But again, I don't think there is any set number or ratio that would answer your question.

 

how many lamborghinis do you have to be able to parallel park in order to successfully parallel park an eighteen wheeler?

you're talking about two similar, but very distinct, skills.

 

Thanks guys for your replys

 

also, you can try.....(MAP veterans will hate me for this )


































ONE-HAND-CLAPPING PUSHUPS!!!!!!!!!

seriously though, different excercises, different results. pushups will initially give you enough strength to lift your own body and will then give you endurance if you do a lot of them, while clap pushups are plyometric, meaning they are more useful for acceleration, making you able to apply more strength in less time.

 

I can do 10 one armed push ups at the moment....
i can try doing the one armed clapping push ups !
thanks

 

What sound does that make?

 

Well, if you clap on your chest, it makes a thud

 

As do you when you bounce off the floor!

 

Shush Narcy! We aren't talking about me bouncing Besides, I can do clapping push-ups & one-hand push-ups too

 

I can do clapping and regular push ups but not one arm push ups. Guess I will sit in the corner now...

 

Don't feel too bad, Narcy I can't do more than a few

 

I like clapping pushups because it feels like I am getting a round of applause for each pushup I do.

 

Here is an exercise that helped with the one armed push up:
Do a handstand with the wall behind you and stay in that position as long as you can and everyday increase the time 5 or 10 seconds. When you reach 2 or 2 and a half mins in a handstand position, trust me you will be able to do the one armed push up and defeat cait !

 

Oh I can do handstand pushups with and without the wall. Still can't do one arm pushups though. My tricepts are my week link I am afraid...


And any advantage I might gain against our Lady of the Beatdown will only be trumped by another trick she has learned.....

 

are you sure that you keep your legs wider than the standard push up position ?

 

OOooo, I'm gonna have to steal that

 

Oh I try. Lord help me I try. I basicly wind up with my body twisted sideways and do a push up with the opposite shoulder pointing to the ceiling. At my age, I really don't care if I can do them or not. Jack Pallance I'm not.
