Posted by anytimestength on February 2nd, 2021

Although, I do feel sorry for our lazy selves, but sometimes you need to make yourself sorry to feel the thrill of a screaming—but sculpted—triceps. Tricep pushups, turn the spotlight on your upper arm muscles specifically making them protruding and attractive. Don’t believe me? Well, then don’t! But listen to what Geoff Tripp has to say, “Regular pushups burn, but they recruit the entire pectoralis major muscle group—your pecs, shoulders, triceps, and core—so the effort is spread across a number of muscles”. And just in case if you don’t have a clue as to who Geoff Tripp is? Google and be shocked!

Now let’s get to business! Below is a step by step guide as to how to do Tricep Pushups in the right manner!

1. Start with a high plank position and with your hands directly under the shoulders. Now try to engage your core by pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
2. Keep your legs straight and your hips, level. Pull your arms closer to your sides so that your elbows are pointed back, driving your hands into the ground to keep your shoulder stable.
3. Now slowly lower yourself toward the ground while keeping your elbows pointed back and core engaged. Lower until your arm, elbow and shoulder to make a 90-degree angle.
