Increasing your pushing strength in a narrow stance presents a unique challenge, and close grip push-ups are perfect for achieving just that. By positioning your hands closer together using only your bodyweight, you shift the bulk of the workload directly onto your triceps, while demanding absolute body rigidity from your shoulders down to your knees. This variation does not just build stronger arms; it delivers torso and shoulder stability that transfers directly to athletic actions like blocking, throwing, or explosive pushing. Keeping a firm body line while lowering and pushing back up teaches you to channel force efficiently. Add this movement to your training session and you will quickly notice improvements in your ability to generate powerful, controlled pushing power in any physical scenario.
1. Lie face down and place your hands slightly closer than shoulder-width apart. 2. Extend your arms and lift your body, keeping it straight from head to knees. 3. Bend your elbows and lower your body controllably until your chest almost touches the floor. 4. Push your body upward until your arms are fully extended.





- Keep your elbows tucked close to your sides during the bend. - Lower your body until your chest almost touches the floor, keeping your back straight. - Push with your chest and triceps to return to the starting position.
