Triceps Push Up

Place your hands slightly narrower than shoulder-width and make your body a straight line. Brace your core and glutes to keep your torso from sagging, and keep your elbows close to your sides.

Bend your elbows close to your torso as you slowly lower. Lower your whole body together while keeping your triceps working.

Push the floor away with your triceps to rise. Finish by straightening your arms with your triceps, rather than letting your shoulders lead.

Think about pushing the floor away with your triceps. If you feel it mostly in your chest, bring your elbows closer to your torso and rise slowly.

If your hips lift or your elbows flare, the movement becomes a regular push-up. Prioritize a straight body line and proper elbow direction over rep count.

Inhale as you lower and exhale as you rise. Steady breathing makes it much easier to keep your torso braced.

You can practice from your knees at first with the same elbow path. Find a narrow hand position that feels comfortable for your wrists instead of bringing your hands so close that they bend.
