CLOSE-GRIP PUSH UPS

VIDEO DEMO:

EXERCISE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Hands under your shoulders; there is no need to go any narrower than this, it’ll just create forearm discomfort.
2. Think of this as a moving plank. Your abs should stay tight, your body should be a straight line as you move up & down.
3. Allow your elbows to travel BACK (not out) to lower your body towards the floor. Power back up by contracting your triceps HARD.
