How to do Diamond Push-up

  1. Get into a high plank with your hands directly under your chest, thumbs and index fingers touching.
  2. Set your feet about hip-width apart and lock your body into a long line from head to heels.
  3. Brace your core and squeeze the glutes so the hips stay in line throughout the rep.
  4. Lower your chest toward your hands while keeping the elbows tucked close to your ribs.
  5. Pause briefly when the chest is just above your hands, feeling the triceps fully loaded.
  6. Press back up to full arm extension by driving through the triceps, then repeat for reps.
