Tríceps Push Up

Intermediate Body Only ChestTriceps

How to do it

  1. Get into a push-up position with your hands placed closer together than shoulder width apart, directly beneath your chest. Keep your body straight from head to toe. This will be your starting position.
  2. As you breathe in, slowly lower yourself by bending at the elbows, keeping your elbows close to your body throughout the movement. Tip: Unlike a standard push-up, your elbows should point backward rather than outward.
  3. Lower yourself until your chest nearly touches the floor.
  4. As you exhale, push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms and squeezing your triceps at the top.
  5. Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
