Tríceps Push Up
Intermediate Body Only ChestTriceps
How to do it
- 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.
- 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.
- Lower yourself until your chest nearly touches the floor.
- As you exhale, push yourself back up to the starting position by straightening your arms and squeezing your triceps at the top.
- Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
