    Keep your hands straight beneath your shoulders. Make sure that your index fingers are touching, forming a diamond shape.

    You can do diamond push-ups as long as you keep their core engaged, elbows in, and neck relaxed. Make sure you go all the way down and all the way up to complete the full range of motion.

  • Question
    How do I know that I'm doing diamond pushups right?
    Community Answer
    It should not hurt you shoulder, but instead burn in your triceps and chest area. However, if you are new, it is not uncommon to feel it a bit in the shoulder as well, due to strength imbalances. Just make sure that it is a burning feeling, not a hurting feeling, in your shoulder. You can also practice looking in the mirror, or get someone to check on you while doing them, to make sure your form is correct.
