You won't find that rolling the elbows out will do much of anything as far as hypertropy of the triceps, it'll just put them in a more powerful position. It gives the exerciser some extra lockout power. If your push-up goal involves conditioning or hypertrophy for the triceps then you're absolutely correct in narrowing your hand placement. Isaac Bob,

In step 5 I do not notice much differenct in rolling the elbows out not worth the effort IMO. I always add a set of hands together under the chest to hit the triceps much more effective. Good article.
