Execution of Plank To Triceps Push-up
Start the exercise in a plank position with your weight on your toes and forearms. Your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
With your elbows facing back toward your feet, contract your triceps and press the palms of your hands into the floor.
Lift your elbows off the floor until your arms are straight and you end the range of motion in a push up position. Your hands should remain under your shoulders during the entire range of motion. Your back should remain straight.
Slowly lower your body bending at the elbows allowing the elbows to bend backward facing toward your feet.
Your elbows should remain tight against your ribs.
You can try this exercise from your knees if performing it from your toes is too difficult.
Try to perform 12-15 reps. You can do multiple sets to really get that triceps burn!
