I just celebrated doing ten diamond pushups in a row. Twenty minutes later, I saw this!๐Ÿ˜‚ And it makes perfect sense. Thanks so much

Iโ€™ve been doing diamonds a while. But when I tried doing it as you described, I immediately felt the difference! I truly needed this video! Thanks a million!

I was about to curse u out.
But you make perfect sense,
close grip is better and feels more natural on the wrists.

I agree. I can't stand whatever the F*ing diamond push up was, just having my thumb touching the other is already uncomfortable and painful for me.

I think each exercise has it's purpose, that includes diamond push ups,

There are obviously bad exercises but you can't go wrong with doing the ones that work right.

Diamond push ups will work on your triceps and clavicular portion,

Cobra push ups are also efficient for this.

Thank you so much sir for this beautiful breakdown! I definitely agree and have just put the close grips to use. I think diamond pushups just look cool when you're doing them, but the close-grip pushups bring your triceps right where you need them!

U can do diamond push ups without flaring. If u retract the scapula , u wont get flared. With on top protraction. If u focus on the shoulderblades movement. U never ever gonna flare. NEVER!

Thanks man. I weigh 222 and diamond push ups are hard for me to get past 6. Not in shape just yet but working towards it.

Makes sense, i always make sure to keep my elbows vertically straight, close or wide grip.

You can do the same with diamond grip too, your elbow mobility needs improvement then

Put your feet together. You've never worked as hard. Forces you to push in sync without the advantage of the body being balanced because your feet are spread

Jerry, so good to see you putting out content again! I missed your stuff and Iโ€™m excited to see what 2023 brings for you. Iโ€™m 41, so watching you inspires me. More content on nutrition, workout programs, fat loss/muscle building, etc. all good for me!

I actually switched from diamond to close grip organically because of exactly what he said. Donโ€™t do diamond push ups

I dont have any studies but to me it makes sense for the diamond pushup to be more effective for chest Specifically the upper chest because the upper chest Fibers Run Diagonally and if you elevate your feet its like a better Incline bench as long as you have a way to progressively overload it.
