    Close grip for triceps on fists with palms facing.
    What this means is that when we drop a ball and it falls to the ground, it wasn't the ball that moved (down to the ground), but the ground that moved (up to the ball)

    So that when you lower yourself your elbows scrape past your sides. Make sure your elbows are back not out to the side. It's the same motion as close grip bench press.

    Added weight, raise you legs, one armed, explosive (where you push yourself up off the floor entirely)...

    When you can do an explosive one armed push up with extra weight and your feet raised up off the ground, take a video :P.

    Shows Handstand and Hindu push ups and one arm handstand holds plus some other interesting stuff.

    Handstand pushups- once you can do these you can try them with your hands raised on a couple of phone books or stools so you can go deeper/lower down. Start against a wall, keeping you body as vertical as possible. Doing them freestanding (without leaning against a wall ia a good goal). If you are really strong you can do one arm handstand holds.

    Hindu pushups/Divebombers

    Here's another link to the Hindu push up - called tiger push ups at the kung fu class i used to do, and they are pretty hard, but better than standard push ups as they work more muscles. Tough tho.....

    I can do some combinations of those things, but not all of them at the same time. Just for the record :P.

    If you like bodyweight exercises, www.beastskills.com has lots of tutorials.
