Check out this picture from the website noted.... the push-up. I have blogged about this before but it is worth noting that different hand positions emphasize certain parts of the arm more than others. This close grip push-up will work your triceps - the back of the arms. You can see how the hands are placed in a triangle type position. As you push up, the elbows will flair out.
You can also move the arms a tad further out so that they are right at shoulder width with the fingers straight (facing forward). When you do the push-up with arms in the fingers straight forward position, make sure the arms stay close to the body, elbows going straight back. This is not a "chest push-up" although that triangle position does work those inner pecs & any form of the push-up will work the chest too.
Try these 2 variations & see how they tighten up those arms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
