In-Home Triceps Exercises : How to Do Close Grip Push-ups

[Tobbanhejsan]

Triangle "grip" is more for the upper-back, a bit wider with your hands and the elbows to the stomach while doing pushups, and u have yourself a triceps exercize!

[L3thalShad0ws7]

i wasnt sure if my elbows were supposed to go out or stay in and you answered my question so thank you sir!

[diverseunity]

Awesome!!!!!

[Th3N0n3F0rg0tt3n]

[Bananayoghurt1000]

I lost a thumb in an accident so can't complete the triangle, I try to do them as best i can tho

[MrGuywhodoesnothing]

[Jimenez809]

[richardmcdonaldmma]

Good video, thanks.

[thedeadman1029]

I CANT EVEN DO 1

[desambio]

@thedeadman1029 so what u waitin for? go practice

[S3iSMO]

@thedeadman1029

You are too strong for this exercise

[Langdell1989]

this doesn't enhance tricep it enhances chest and ab muscles

[saderguy]

@Langdell1989 no, closer grip works triceps, that's why they're harder, most people have less developed triceps

[needtolooselots]

would this work using the wall, i am a amputee and its hard to get up from the floor.

[jfmn24]

@needtolooselots what limb/limbs ? my step dad lost both his legs above the knee. he uses this same exercise. you could do it against the wall too i suppose more reps needed though. good luck.

[needtolooselots]

@jfmn24 Hi my left leg bellow the knee, my prosthetic leg does not bend at the foot..I feel real awkward when i sit on the floor..Thanx and have a happy new years!

[jfmn24]

@needtolooselots I think you could do this move using a counter top or table top. put a tea towel or something on the edge of the table/counter to stop putting too much pressure on your palms/fingers. imagine a 45 degree angle or less. that would be better than doing it against a wall. it would not be as hard but thats easily solved by increasing reps. In fact I often do these press ups against a bench if I am feeling a bit shaky from my other exercises. Happy new years to you whenh it comes.

[needtolooselots]

@jfmn24 Thanks a million i will give that a try.

[boylston1276]

being buff doesnt necessarily mean you strong. buff is more of a look than actual strength

[mrdave777]

You DONT need to be buff to be healthy....some of the strongest people I know are shredded but not insanely buff! I like a balance between the two, human flag here I come!

[SujitP1]

This is one of the best diamond push up videos on youtube. The 'PERFECT FORM' !

[Ayzee001]

I love doing these. Many people neglet pushups and focus on the bench press to enchance their chest.

[HardikG121]

@pinkmushroom55 I know, my arms keep on locking up

[BCxPoWell]

@pinkmushroom55 then go from ur knees, and then work ur way up!

[riotztarter]

@pinkmushroom55 do it at your own pace im thinking you are in the same shape i was about 1 year ago, everything was hard i just started slowly with regular pushups because you dont want to strain your self.

[BCxPoWell]

@pinkmushroom55 not even

[TheClearRain]

so whats the diff between this and diamonds?

[TrancedNRG]

I find these put a lot of unnatural strain on the elbows and wrists

[e15s]

@TrancedNRG just do a few a day and progress to more, its because you have not got enough muscle to do them correctly

[r0k94]

i tried this today and when i done 1st push-up, my back start to crack(like you do with fingers), 2nd was same and then the rest was ok. Nice way to get my back to original shape xD

[LovelyYTRocks]

Do far hand push-ups help the triceps too? I can do 60 far hand push-ups continuously, but I can only manage 20 close hand push-ups.

[danfrost313]

@LovelyYTRocks You should be doing both anyway.

[victortsoi052000]

hard enough for me, gotta work on this more

[StephanSteijger]

Gotta try that out!

[MrDrummerboy504]

lmao i cant hardly do a push up lol.!

[massimoilsardo]

I called them Jailhose triceps push-ups: use a empty camping gaz bottle and position both - 3 seconds stop low and explosive moviment to above

[GitsKyle]

Diamond push ups?

[WingchunUK1]

Let's call em field push ups now!! Lol

[skar603]

its better to make a fieldgoal rather than a triangle. triangles add unnecessary strain to your wrists

[BeatsGalore4Sure]

@skar603 i agree i feel it less in my wrists with my fingers spread out in a field goal position rather than the triangle.

[karisma031]

thnx for info

[SuperVerbrenner]

Thx :D

[TheBedm]

Great exercices!

[Vetano]

Actually that's very bad on your wrists if you just do them on your palms. Do them on your fists or use push-up-stands!

[juninhodf2]

fala em portugues ohhhh

[spiderfly1014]

Is there a beginners variation to this? I start on my chest but I can't push myself all the way up :(

[DoubleDeuce2500]

Instead of doing a 'normal' type of pushup where your toes are touching, make your knees touch the ground instead. The first part of the video shows this. If you've already tried this, I'd try just not going down all the way....maybe just go down halfway. Good luck!!

[spiderfly1014]

Thx :)

[ZZchaz]

Another way to work up to a full pushup is to do negatives. Start in the up position and lower yourself to the ground as slow as you can, never compromising form.

[mostwanted115]

every morning i do 50 regular push-ups and only 35 of those. Those are a bit harder; they target a smaller set of muscles; the triceps.

[TheLocalDJ]

@mostwanted115 aren't triceps bigger than the biceps? hehe

[mostwanted115]

yes they are. but what does this have to do here?!

in the above exercise, you are using less chest muscles (bigger muscles) and more triceps muscles (relatively smaller muscles)

[skatarob]

i cant start with my whole chest on the ground i push as hard as i can and i dont budge :/

[pantipolo12]

i can only do 20

[kukubird31]

ok..this is hard. :(

[ChasidyStormscale]

omg...sexy....

[EnaRbg]

cool, works fine for me :P

[constantino123]

it shapes ur chest.... ur nipple wouldn't look drowsy.....

[BodyManiacal]

The best way to do does it to touch your chest to your hands. Do 'em on your chest they combined with other push ups and chest exercises ;)

[doosty537]

wow this works!

[regisaugusto1]

My elbows crack too

[openedeyedbeast123]

dude that means your REALLY out of shape

[junmae808]

lol mine too..is it because we're not strong enough? or just our bodies?

[ErickhTheGreat]

Если поставить паузу на 0.01 будет стандартный такой обезьян.

[emanxd3]

when i do this my elbows crack.

[ztrukario]

ROFL

[JMONEYCRUZ]

it look like you were doing diamond push-ups? ummm i got a question whats the difference between diamond,knuckles, and regular push-ups i know diamond is the hardest push-up besides 1 hand and 2 fingers :)

[solidsnackumzzz]

diamond works the triceps alot and a little inner chest, regular overall conditions the triceps, shoulders and chest, and knuckles puts more on the chest, and strengthens the forearms.

[zeekee]

in the triangle one you are working more the triceps, open arm pushops you are working the chest. In the triangle one you are workin a little bit of inner chest and forearms too. the same thing with the other one. Pushup with knuckles im not sure.

[Norenlind]

How many of these should I do everyday??

[uFugitive]

As much as you can... Just don't overdo it.

[zeekee]

youshud start iwth a set of 3 of 10, then when you become stronger amybe 4 of 12

[flapdrol102]

thx this works!

[Reddogg387]

great, thank you!

might wanna drop the sunglasses next time you're on the beach tho buddy... ;)

[madalert]

Wow this is better then just weights be hind your head im goign to try this

[kaipoindexter1]

Wow that really helped. That guy was hot.

[bud5mac]

ok there big guy

[rotator1471]

Haha yea, keep up the good work sport!

[dccrew1]

uiiiiii shit look at you mr badass

[tprinceballa]

whoa there!!!! You are just so beastly man! Can I get an autograph?

[l4mG0D]

good workout

[wislok]

if you can do this, just go do tricep pulldowns or tricep extensions to realistically work the muscle....

[lrsesler]

i can do 50..

bunch of faties...

[Battlefronthero]

make a vid of it cause i can do 55 fattie

[Quomy]

i can do 30 easy, feels like it works my chest more that anything

[kaloyan96]

lol is not easy to do.

[SuruProductions]

loool

shut up u faggots.

this exercise is fucking hard.. try to do at least 30 xD

harder is do with only one hand,...

and i can do them :b

[nikovich]

This excercise it not that easy to do, so all your idiots should try before you slag it off.

[famerca]

this is right

[TheChosenOne5995]

thats weak push ups side ones are more effective

[DeadPariah]

Once you get some strength behind you do these feet elevated with elbows IN.

[weathered79]

does it even help your triceps when you use your knees just curious before i possibly break my back trying to do this

[diablodude18]

ye it does help ur triceps but not as much as if u do it on ur toes. Doing it on ur knees are for people who lack the strength 2 do it on their toes. its a good way to start

[awais590]

does this actually build muscle?

[cummyCroissant]

To a point. But just with anything if you continue working with the same weight your results/gains will halt.

[awais590]

lol, (Y)

[TrixDemon]

You don't need to be 'buff' to be healthy. This guy is promoting overall health and fitness. Very useful video. Thanks!

[yomomma564]

@TrixDemon weight lifting/being stronger helps with any sport, even chess since it helps censontration,

[Churchboy03]

I agree! with Trix, besides he's pretty muscular, you don't have to be ripped, to be sexy

[DELMQR1]

nonsense

[shirairyuscorpion]

my personal record for triangle pushups is 70 triangle pushups in a row. all the way down all the way up. 70 triangle pushups in a row. what do u think?

[gangster2triggaz]

your shit

[shirairyuscorpion]

i usually do 3 sets of 30 triangle pushups. 55-60 seconds break between sets. 3 sets of 30 triangle pushups. all the way down all the way up. what do u think?

[Xae87]

i think u need to do more than pushups
