Push Ups Close Triceps Position

An exercise focusing on the triceps while performing a push-up with hands positioned close together.

Instructions

• Start in a plank position, with your hands close together directly under your chest.
• Lower your body to the floor, keeping your elbows close to your body.
• Push your body back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
• Keep your core engaged throughout the movement.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Flaring elbows out to the sides instead of keeping them close to the body.
• Allowing hips to sag or pike upwards.
• Not fully extending arms at the top of the movement.
• Placing hands too far forward or back, instead of under the chest.
