One clap, two claps and so on for more challenge

And claping HeSPUs!

For raw power development (without the stretch-reflex, so it isn't plyometric), it is also good to start movements from the bottom position and do them very explosively.

You can also do jumping inverted rows between two bars that are placed wide enough so your body can pass through them (place a mat under you in case you fail catching them).

Don't forget kips on various apparatus (high bar, parallel bars, rings). If you do them one after each other and try to get faster, it is a full body plyometric movement.

There's a bunch of different swings and counter-swings you can do on the high bar.

Most parallel bar moves are very plyometric by nature, just take regular swings, back and front between the bars, dismounts, backtoss, elie...

Good work guys!

Me personally don't have access to equipment for doing swings and stuff but I was thinking this thread is for everyone interested in upper body plyo's so put in more exercises and variations

Haha awesome! I have to work more on my handstand skills before I can attempt those. But definitely something I want to do in the future.
