CLOSE GRIP PRESSUPS

Exercise Execution:

  • The close grip push up is a variation of the push up that focuses on hitting the triceps. Set up with your hands torso width apart.
  • Extend your legs back so that only your toes are touching the floor and your body is straight.
  • Bend slightly at the elbows to keep tension in your triceps.
  • Keeping your body straight, slowly lower yourself as far as possible without hitting the floor.
  • Pause, and then push back up to the starting position without locking your elbows out.
