In Q&D, the explosive pushup is explained as the push of choice this way:
"The floor pushup is the Q&D push of choice—classic and democratic. Parallel bar dips also worked great for the subjects whose shoulders could take this controversial movement, but since Q&D was conceived as an egalitarian “power to the people!” type program, dips did not make the final cut."
Elsewhere in the book, I feel like Pavel explains his rationale for one and two-handed swings and snatches and talks about the pros and cons of each, how they develop the body, etc. But I don't feel like he gives a great overview of why the pushup is great to train (among the many other possible push exercises one could train).
Has he covered this elsewhere?
Thanks.
