How to perform?

Close Stance Push-Ups are a challenging variation of traditional push-ups that specifically target and engage the triceps, chest, and core muscles. The exercise involves assuming a narrow hand placement with the thumbs and index fingers touching, creating a diamond shape with the hands. This close hand placement forces the elbows to stay close to the body, placing greater emphasis on the triceps. Additionally, the unstable hand position demands greater core engagement, providing a full-body workout that can enhance overall strength and stability. With consistent practice and progression, Close Stance Push-Ups can develop impressive upper body strength and muscular endurance.
