Diamond Push-up
Muscles involved
Mastering the diamond push-up requires precision, but the feeling of completing a clean set using only your bodyweight is extremely rewarding. Positioning your hands close together on the floor immediately shifts full tension onto the back of your arms. A great set feels smooth and controlled on the descent, followed by a powerful press that creates a deep, satisfying burn in your triceps. Executing every rep with proper form gives you immense confidence in your physical capabilities, letting you feel complete control over your body throughout every single inch of the movement.
How to do it
1. Position yourself in a push-up position with hands forming a diamond on the floor. 2. Lower your chest towards the floor, keeping your back straight as you exhale. 3. Hold the bottom position for 1-2 seconds. 4. Push upward by extending your arms as you inhale.
