Diamond push ups are an effective exercise for the triceps, but also work the chest and front shoulder. You can do the exercise anywhere without equipment.
Start in a push-up position and place your hands close together so that your thumbs and index fingers form a diamond shape.
2
Your hands should be approximately at chest level, and your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your feet.
3
Slowly lower your body by bending your elbows and lowering your upper body toward the floor. Make sure your elbows stay close to your body. Breathe in as you do this.
4
Then push yourself explosively away from the floor by extending your arms and returning to the starting position. Exhale as you do this.
5
A repetition has thus been performed. Repeat this process for the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
With a backpack (filled with water bottles, books, etc.) you can make this exercise more difficult.
Keep your elbows close to your body and maintain body tension throughout the exercise.
