Close Grip Push Up – Exercise of the Week
- Keep your abs braced and body in a straight line from your knees to shoulders
- Place your hands on the floor with your hands shoulder-width apart (closer than you would for a standard push up)
- Keep your elbows tucked into your sides as you do the pushup
- Slowly lower yourself down until you are about 5cm off the ground
- Push through your chest, shoulders and triceps to return to the start position
- Keep your body in a straight line (from your knees to head) at all times

Nice post, close grip push ups are also very good for training triceps. Body weight exercises like these are very beneficial for those people who don’t really get time to hit the gym and train with weights.
