I superset with pushups on a medicine ball to also work my core muscles out. I do 3 sets of about 20 on a bad day.

One you get used to doing them, try different hand positions and triceps angles. I like making my hands into a diamond shape, they really work the lats that way.

No it's a little harder with your feet on an incline. Usually people put their feet on a chair or an exercise ball.

If your doing them for toning it's OK doing it 3 times a week. They can be great for warming up. But, if you are working hard doing them 3 times a week, your chest strength will likely diminish. Including pushups in your once a week chest routine is fine. Be patient with your training so you don't overtrain.

You can really isolate a tricep on one arm if you put that arm so your elbow points outwards and the other below it pointing in. (Makes a T)

I have bad wrists and back in the day when I did them, I did them on my fists. There is no stress on the wrists at all if you do them this way.

So just make fists and press up off your knuckles....

It's your fist that the weight is on. Make a fist like you are punching the floor and instead use this form for push-ups.....Try it out

Yeah, the fist thing is good, using dumbells is even better.
