Execution (step by step)

1

Get into push-up position, hands under your chest in a triangle shape -- thumbs and index fingers touch each other.

2

Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, core and glutes engaged.

3

Lower your chest toward your hands while elbows point backward and outward.

4

The narrow hand position shifts the emphasis strongly to the triceps.

5

Push up powerfully and fully extend the elbows at the top.

6

If this is too heavy: do the movement on your knees or with hands elevated on a bench.
