Close-Grip Push-Ups

The triceps-heavy push-up. Harder per rep, bigger lockout payoff.

How to do Close-Grip Push-Ups

1. Place your hands directly under your chest, thumbs nearly touching.
2. Keep elbows tucked against your ribs as you lower.
3. Touch your chest lightly to your hands, then press to full lockout.

Where reps get stolen

Elbows drifting out. The second they flare, it's a regular push-up at a worse angle.
