The body-up is an effective exercise for the triceps using body weight. This exercise is similar to the push-up, but targets the triceps more. This variation is not quite as demanding and is therefore suitable for beginners.
Slowly lower your upper body out of the triceps by bending your elbows and lowering your forehead towards the floor. Make sure that your elbows remain close to your body. Breathe in as you do this.

Push yourself away from the floor using your triceps until your arms are almost fully extended and you are back in the starting position. Breathe out as you do so.
4
One repetition has now been completed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Always keep your arms close to your body and make sure that your elbows do not move outwards. Make sure that you push yourself up from your triceps and not from your chest muscles.
Progression 1: Position your knees further back than usual
Progression 2: Lie with your stomach on the floor. Fully bend your elbow joints and place your arms close to your body. Your palms are on the floor and approximately level with your shoulders. Now push yourself up from the triceps.
