Tricep Presses
Guidelines for all Tricep Pressing movements
(unless specifically stated otherwise)
- position hands slightly outside of shoulder width and elbows wide outside of hands
- keep the elbows turned inwards (facing the front) and as high as possible throughout (‘shove’ them up and towards each other, don’t let them flair)
- aim for full extension at the top
- touch forearms to biceps at the bottom (really try to contract the biceps hard)
- focus on squeezing the triceps through the range and relax the chest to minimize it’s involvement
- try to push trunk backwards into the bench / support as opposed to pushing the weight away from the body (for close grip push-ups, try to force the ground away, don’t try to lift the body up).
