Description

The diamond push-up is the perfect exercise for building your beach body. This compound move hits the triceps, chest, and shoulders. Also known as triangle push-up or close grip push-up, it increases upper body strength and gives your muscles definition. If you are new at this exercise, keep your knees bent on the floor. This will allow you to maintain proper form and avoid injuries.

  1. 1Sit on your stomach, with your legs bent at the knees.
  2. 2Place the hands in a diamond/pyramid shape under your chest.
  3. 3Keep your head straight and maintain a neutral spine.
  4. 4Lower yourself until your chest is almost touching the floor.
  5. 5Return to the initial position using your triceps and pecs to generate force.

  • Extend the arms completely
  • Touching the floor with your chest
