TRICEPS

Diamond Push Up

AdvancedBodyweight

An advanced push-up with the hands close together forming a diamond, which shifts the load heavily onto the triceps while still working the chest. The narrow hand base is less stable, so the core has to work harder to hold a straight line. A tough bodyweight builder for arm strength once standard push-ups feel easy.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Place your palms on the floor beneath your chest so your index fingers and thumbs form a diamond shape.

  2. 2

    Rise up into a plank, forming a straight line from shoulders to heels.

  3. 3

    Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the top of your hands, keeping your elbows in toward your sides.

  4. 4

    Press back up to full arm extension while holding a rigid body line.

  5. 5

    Keep your core tight so your hips don't sag or pike, especially as you fatigue.

  6. 6

    Keep your hands under the center of your chest to protect your shoulders.
