How to perform Bodyweight Diamond Push Up with proper form

Starting Position

1. Hands: Place your hands together under your chest so your thumbs and index fingers form a diamond shape.
2. Feet: Keep your feet together or slightly apart, maintaining a straight line from head to heels.
3. Body: Engage your core and keep your body straight.

Movement

1. Lowering Phase:

   • Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward your hands.
   • Keep your elbows tucked close to your sides, not flaring out.
   • Lower until your chest nearly touches your hands.

2. Raising Phase:

   • Press through your palms to push your body back up to the starting position.
   • Drive through your triceps and keep your core tight throughout.

Key Points

• Keep your elbows tucked close to your body to maximize tricep involvement.
• Avoid sagging your hips or piking your buttocks up.
• If full diamond push-ups are too hard, start from your knees.
