8 Rounds of:
10 Kettlebell swings (24kg)
10 lunges (holding the Kettlebell at chest)
11 clapping pushups
The clapping pushups seemed to be the hardest part of the workout which was understandable. Some people were curious to know why we were doing clapping pushups versus regular pushups recently. Its because I am experimenting with you guys! :)
Training with movements that use high contraction speeds (explosive movements) recruit more of the motor units of your muscle to contract. A motor unit consists of a nerve cell and the muscle fibers it innervates. Muscles generate force through motor unit recruitment (and frequency of firing which is also dependent on recruitment). So clapping pushups are a faster way to get your upper body/chest muscles stronger. Also why we do box jumps for our legs.
