You can also target your triceps by keeping your palms close to each other while doing pushups. Besides these you can also try isometric exercises which involve using your own force, for working out a particular portion of your body. These workouts require lots of concentration and can be mastered only by experience. Let me tell you the workout for biceps: Bend your right arm at a 90 degree position. Your forearms should be parallel to the floor and perpendicular to your biceps(a simple L-shaped position). Now press your forearms with the palm of your other hand and as you raise your right forearm to flex your biceps, offer resistance to the movement using your other hand. Repeat the same for the left arm. Make sure that you don't hurt your forearms in the process. Do at least 10 reps for each arm and 2-3 sets. It would be better if you do the close grip push-ups that I mentioned earlier, and this workout, as a super-set. To tone up your muscles you can also do running, swimming, and boxing.
