I got a couple of questions on plyometrics and building muscle. With the second question more about how clapping push ups compare to a traditional push up or bench press.

Now plyometrics can play a role in building muscle, but that is not the main function of plyometrics. they are primarily used to improve athletic performance by increasing power or the speed/strength connection. But what they have found is that plyometrics stimulate more of the type 2 or fast twitch muscle fibers in our body, which are the ones that grow the largest. So we can use them to help fire them up.
