Clapping Dip

The clapping dip is an advanced calisthenics exercise that targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders while also improving explosive power and coordination. This exercise involves performing a dip while adding a clap in between each repetition, making it a challenging movement that requires significant upper body strength and coordination.

• Increased upper body strength: Clapping dips target the chest, triceps, and shoulders, making them an effective exercise for building upper body strength and muscle.
• Improved explosive power: The addition of the clap in between each repetition requires explosive power and coordination, which can help improve overall athletic performance.
• Challenging variation: Clapping dips are a more advanced variation of traditional dips, making them a challenging exercise for those looking to push themselves and take their calisthenics training to the next level.

1. Start by placing your hands on parallel bars or dip bars and lifting yourself up until your arms are fully extended.
2. Bend your elbows to lower your body until your upper arms are parallel to the ground.
3. Push through your hands to explode up and lift your body off the bars.
4. As your hands leave the bars, clap your hands together in front of your chest.
5. Land with your hands back on the bars and lower yourself back down to the starting position.

When performing clapping dips, it's important to use proper form and technique to avoid injury. Start with regular dips to build up strength and gradually work up to clapping dips as you progress.
