Close grip push-ups

How to do it

1. Take a push-up position but bring your hands in close together, directly under your chest, and keep your body in a rigid straight line from head to heels.
2. Lower yourself until your chest nearly touches your hands, keeping your elbows tucked in tight so they brush along your ribs, then press back up to full extension.
3. The narrow hand position shifts the load onto your triceps - expect fewer reps than your regular push-ups, and that's the point.
