not that this is really any more effective at working the pecs - more just showing off, but this guys shows that there are advantages to being in the under 150 pound category. he's got lots of other fitness vids too that are worth having a looksee. phenomenal conditioning overall.

Explosive pushups (clapping, or where your hands leave the floor) are definitely more effective than regular ones, IMO

I agree kipping is hilarious. But in a way, kipping pullups are pretty much the opposite of a powerful push up. They basically use momentum, not power. It's even funnier when people claim that a kipping pull up is "harder" than a normal one  | |

The way I see it, doing a 'power' push up (where your hands leave the floor) is not akin to a 'kipping' pull-up (where you are using momentum to allow you to do more reps)
But my brain is pretty dead right now, maybe we are saying the same thing. Good night!

But my brain is pretty dead right now, maybe we are saying the same thing. Good night! | i think we're on opposite ends of the discussion here. i believe they are similar. both encompass the plyometrics method of training of "loading and exploding" like a baseball bat hiting a ball or a sling shot.
and yes, good night to you sir, although i think you might have your AMs and PMs mixed up again. open a curtain perhaps? kidding... you're obviously a graveyarder.

Kipping pull ups have their place. Great for athletes where hip drive is important. If you are a bodybuilder, not so much.
Anyone one that dismisses them for what they are- is probably missing the point. Kettle ball swings are good as well.
