I also like the fists together version. Even a bit more tricep action. Great way to work the triceps! I also like the fists together version. Even a bit more tricep action.

Think this isn't important? Well it's the true cause of most rotator-cuff problems, as well as other back and shoulder injuries. Some pushup variations worth trying: Scapulae pushups Stability ball pushups Explosive pushups with isometric pause (explode off the ground with your pushup, then as you are coming down pause with your elbows bent for 5 seconds) Weight pushups Take care!

I love doing diamond push ups. It's a great triceps mass builder which you can do without equipment. Good body weight exercise. Also works the inner chest. Do like 3 sets of 10 repeats and your triceps will already be pumped up. To make the exercise even more difficult, try putting your feet in an elevated position like on a chair, so your body will be declined. Or another technique is to use a bag pack on your back and load it with heavy books. The triceps accounts for 60% of upper arm muscles and 40% goes for biceps, so if you can get your triceps really worked out with the diamond push ups, you can get a good growth in your arms with time and patience.

Too often the hips are allowed to sag or the head touches the floor instead of the chest. Can we get back to doing push-ups as a "must do" for chest, tricep, and anterior shoulder training? Get off the bench press for goodness sake and try finger push-ups, or normal push-ups where you have to touch your elbows and get back up without your torso touching the ground and a strong core. The bench press can't give you that versatility. The push-up and all if the variations of the standard are often over look when developing a program.
