Any tips on diamond push-ups?!
Question: Any tips on diamond push-ups!?
Ok, im 6'5" 167 lbs (i know im thin)!. I got 100% on the Presidential fitness test, but it seems that even though i can do 55 normal pushups in 1 minute, i cant even do a full diamond push-up!. anyone got any tips on doing these!? I mean it may be that my arms are long, i am putting my hands in the diamond correctly and im keeping my feet together!. should i jsut do half reps till i can work my way up, or should spread my feet out!? any tips that i can get will be appreciated!Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
diamond pushups are not that hard but you should firstly move from normal pushups to tricep pushups!. diamond and tricep pushups require more tricep strength than pectoral strength!. remember with tricep pushups to keep your elbows close to your sides
it may also help with your diamonds if you move your hands slightly forward of normal!.
moving your feet out wide will make your pushups more like chinese pushups which work your muscles differently and are often done in Martial arts!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
