how to do it

Adopt a position which mirrors that of a normal press up - hands at shoulder level - slightly wider than shoulder width

Bend your elbows and begin to perform a normal press up. On the ascend of the movement press as forcefully as possible

As your arms extend and straighten, throw your hands up off the floor and clap them together in front of your chest
