How To
Practice diamond push-ups by bringing your hands close together to form a diamond or triangle shape below your chest. Keep your back and legs in a straight line and push yourself off the ground.
- In a pushup position, connect your thumbs and index fingers to create a diamond shape. Grip the ground with your hands, and rotate your shoulders outward to engage your lats. Your legs should be hip-width apart or together.
- Pull your chest toward your hands by bending your elbows. Your shoulder blades should retract as you lower to the ground.
- Lower your body until your upper arms are alongside your rib cage.
- While maintaining your alignment, initiate the upward movement by squeezing your chest and straightening your elbows. Your shoulder blades should protract as you push to the top of the movement.
