Push-up (Diamond)
How to do it
- Get into a high plank position with the thumbs and index fingers touching to form a diamond shape under the chest.
- Keep the body in a straight line from head to heels, with the core and glutes braced.
- Lower the chest toward the hands by bending the elbows straight back along the ribs.
- Descend until the chest nearly touches the hands, feeling the emphasis load the triceps and inner chest.
- Press back up to full arm extension, driving through the palms.
- Keep the elbows tracking close to the body instead of flaring out to the sides.
