How do you perform Triceps Push Up?
- Start in the plank position, with your hands under your shoulders and your legs extended behind you.
- Bend your elbows at your sides and lower yourself until your chest touches the floor.
- Push up on your hands to return your body to the starting position.
- Keep your body in one line and your back straight.
- The big difference with the push up is the position of the elbows. By holding your arms against your sides, the triceps are fully engaged.
Common faults
- Your back does not stay in a straight line.
- Hands too far apart.
- Your arms are not fully extended when doing the push-up.
- Your chest does not fully touch the floor in the lowest position.
- Your elbows are pointing too far out.
