Close Grip Push-up, like the narrow-grip barbell press, is also a compound exercise and mainly exercises the triceps brachii.

Target exercise parts: Mainly exercises the triceps brachii, which is good for large chests The inner side of the muscle and the anterior deltoid muscle are also exercised

Triceps brachii exercise method and action essentials:

It is basically the same as ordinary push-ups and will not be described in detail.

But please note that the distance between your hands on the ground is narrower than your shoulders. When your arms are bent at the elbows, your upper arms are close to the side of the body and tucked inward.

Notes:

1. Pay attention to the difference between different grip distances on the target muscles: Narrow grip distance For push-ups, keeping the elbows inward and close to the sides is beneficial to developing the strength of the triceps brachii; for push-ups with a wide grip and slightly abducting the elbows, it is beneficial to develop the strength of the serratus anterior muscle of the pectoralis major. Both of them take into account each other in developing the strength of the triceps brachii and serratus anterior pectoralis major, mainly in different primary and secondary exercises.
