Close Grip Push-Up
1 - Begin in a standard push-up position. Place your hands on the ground directly under your shoulders, slightly closer together than shoulder-width apart.
2 - Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels. Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
3 - Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your elbows close to your torso, rather than flaring them out to the sides.
4 - Lower yourself until your chest is just above the ground or as far as your strength and flexibility allow.
5 - Push through your palms and extend your elbows to push your body back up to the starting position. Fully extend your arms without locking your elbows.
6 - Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
