Diamond Push-Up

Index fingers and thumbs touching under the chest; lower until the chest meets the hands, elbows staying close.

How to do it

Setup

Index fingers and thumbs touching in a diamond under the chest.

Steps

  1. Lower until the chest meets the hands.
  2. Elbows track back, not out.
  3. Press to lockout.

Common mistakes

Diamond too far forward: under the CHEST, not the face. Wrists complaining: turn the diamond slightly or widen a touch. Short reps: chest touches the hands.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale pressing.
