A floor-based bodyweight press with narrow, separated palms and elbows traveling close to the torso. Both hands and toes support a straight body while elbow extension and shoulder movement train the triceps and chest; the palms do not form a diamond.
Place your palms close together beneath the chest, leaving them separate with fingers pointing forward.
Extend both legs and support your body on the palms and toes with knees off the floor.
Bend both elbows close to your torso and lower the chest as the trunk and legs move together.
Press through both palms to return to the straight-arm position without dropping the hips.
Choose a hand spacing that allows the forearms and wrists to remain controlled.
Maintain the same trunk and leg alignment throughout.
Let the shoulder blades move with the press rather than pinning them together.
Exhale while pressing up and inhale while lowering.
Joining the hands into a diamond instead of the shown separated placement.
Flaring the elbows widely.
Letting the lower back sag or lifting the hips ahead of the chest.
Resting the knees on the floor and presenting that as the demonstrated version.
