Close Grip Push Up Video Exercise Guide

The close grip push up is a variation of the push up that focuses on hitting the triceps.

1. Set up by placing your palms on the floor with your thumbs touching one another.
2. Extend your legs back so that only your toes are touching the floor and your body is straight.
3. Bend slightly at the elbows to keep tension in your triceps.
4. Keeping your body straight, slowly lower yourself as far as possible without hitting the floor.
5. Pause, and then push back up to the starting position without locking your elbows out.
6. Repeat for desired reps.
