What are diamond push-ups benefits?
Push-ups, or more specifically Diamond push-ups, are your strongest ally when it comes to building thick muscle plates in the fastest way possible.
They are performed by placing the legs and arms on the floor (opposite arms touching) with a straight back and using the chest and arm muscles to lower and lift the body weight off the floor.
Other benefits of diamond push-ups also include the fact that this movement still works your chest and shoulders to a great extent.
Even though the chest and shoulders are inferior to the triceps when it comes to the diamond-shaped push-up muscles to work, they still get a great pump from this exercise.
Diamond push-ups take the focus away from the pectoralis major and minor muscles, forcing the triceps to do most of the hard work.
