Upper Body Move of the Week: Tricep Push-Ups

This is a classic upper body exercise, but to be honest, I hadn't done them very often.  In all of my sports and training, I tended to do more classic push-ups.  It wasn't until Tony Horton's P90X3 that tricep push-ups became an exercise I did frequently and eventually got better at!  


  • Start in the plank position with your arms just shoulder-width apart
  • Your back should be flat
  • Lower your whole body down, keeping your elbows near your rib cage
  • Your head should be in a neutral position
  • Your elbows should not come OUT
  • Extending your arms, raise yourself back up to the plank position
  • Repeat
Start with 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions and build from there!
