Triceps Push Ups

Triceps Bodyweight

Description

The triceps push-up is a bodyweight exercise that targets the triceps while also engaging the chest, shoulders, and core. Performed with a narrow hand position, it places greater emphasis on the back of the arms than a standard push-up. This exercise helps build upper-body strength, stability, and muscular endurance.

How To

01 Set up in a plank, hands close together under your chest
02 Brace your core and keep your body in a straight line
03 Lower with elbows tucked tight to your ribs
04 Press through your palms back to the top
05 Squeeze your triceps hard at lockout
