Strap on a weighted vest or place a light weight plate in a secure position on your lower back and perform 1-5 clapping push ups this way. Increasing the resistance of the push up forces you to press through the movement harder and faster, which translates to major increases in strength. Keep the number of reps in each set relatively low; because the clapping push up is an explosive plyometric exercise requiring short, intense bursts of strength, your force output and work capacity will drop off rather quickly, eventually putting you at risk of exhaustion or injury. Regular push ups target the chest, shoulders and, to a lesser degree, the triceps. Shift emphasis to the triceps by placing the hands closer together under the body in the starting planche position, touching the forefinger and thumbs of both hands together to loosely form a “diamond.” Proceed to push up in the same manner, making sure to keep the elbows from flaring straight out. Diamond clapping push ups will add strength and mass to your triceps, which will in turn strengthen the upper portion of the push up.  Balance will play more of a role in the clapping diamond push up. Because the hands are in a much more narrow stance beneath the body, you will have to actively work to maintain balance as you descend, push and catch. Having the hands so close together in the starting position can make it hard to get a good clap. Some people prefer to bring the hands around and clap behind the back, instead, but this is a very advanced variant of the diamond clapping push up. Find an object 8”-12” in height and rest the feet on top of it before performing clapping push ups. As the angle of the body is raised, leverage is taken away from the pectorals, which forces the muscles of the shoulder to compensate. The frontal deltoids will get a very intense workout. Elevate the feet as high as you like. Theoretically, there’s no limit to how high you can raise the angle of your body, as long as you stay in alignment and the shoulders are strong enough to bear and manipulate your weight. At a vertical limit, the exercise basically becomes a clapping handstand push up. For the ultimate test of clapping push up strength, continue training the exercise until you can clap twice consecutively in a single push up. To do this, you’ll need to be able to achieve an impressive amount of height and hang-time from the push, which means having extremely well-developed pushing power. If you can clap more than 3 or 4 times after one push up, you may be in world record contention! Don't cheat; make each clap distinct.

To do so, place the CD logo side-up in your computer's CD tray. The CD must have a version of Windows on it. Do this by clicking the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen, or by pressing ⊞ Win. On Windows 8, place the mouse cursor in the top-right side of the screen, then click the magnifying glass. It's in the bottom-left corner of the Start window. This option is near the bottom of the pop-up menu. If you have programs running, you may be prompted to click Restart anyway before you can continue. This key may also be a different key. Most computers will display a message on startup that says "Press [key] to enter setup" or something similar, so look for this message when your computer restarts to confirm the key you should press to access the BIOS. Consult your computer's manual or online support page to confirm your computer's BIOS key. You'll use the arrow keys to select it. The Boot tab may instead say Boot Options, depending on your computer's manufacturer. To do so, press the ↓ arrow until this option has a box around it. This will place it at the top of the boot options list. You may have to press a different key as indicated by the key legend on the far-right side of the BIOS screen. You should see a key prompt (e.g., F10) at the bottom of the screen that correlates to "Save and Exit"; pressing it will restart your computer, using the CD drive as a reboot point. You may have to press ↵ Enter to confirm the changes.

This will save you time while preparing the fish. This will prevent the fish from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Alternatively, coat the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spread out the fillets so that they are not touching one another. Be sure to pat the fillets dry with a paper towel or clean dish towel. Pour the mixture evenly over the fish. Use a basting brush if you have one. Add salt and pepper if desired. Fish should be white in color (no longer pink) and flaky when pulled apart with a fork. Garnish with cilantro or lemon slices if desired.
