Diamond Push-Up (On Knees)
The diamond push-up from the knees; the shorter lever takes weight off while the hands stay in the diamond.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling, hands in a diamond under the chest, body straight from head to knees.
Steps
- Lower the chest onto the diamond.
- Keep the head in line with the spine.
- Press up to straight arms, hips in line.
Common mistakes
Hips folding at the waist: one straight line from head to knees. Diamond under the face: it sits under the chest, or the wrists and shoulders pay. Elbows flaring: they travel back past the ribs.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale pressing.
