diamond push-up

Triangle hand press

A diamond push-up is a push-up variation where the hands are positioned close together beneath the chest, thumbs and index fingers touching to form a diamond or triangle shape.

This hand placement shifts emphasis to the triceps and inner chest muscles: Diamond push-ups are harder than regular push-ups.

Also called triangle push-ups.
