Here's short clip of me demonstrating variations of the clapping pushup including a double clap, clapping behind the back and a triple clap.
The point is not so much to show off (the form could be better) but to demonstrate progressions of a simple clapping push-up to more difficult variations.
The same thing can be done in reverse showing how to regress a clapping pushup (making it easier) so that it is achievable by any client while teaching a skill that is still transferable.
One sign of an experienced trainer is the ability to progress or regress ANY exercise to suit the ability of the client from performing something as easy as a push-up while standing against the wall to performing a triple clapping pushup behind the back and every possible point in between.
