Evidence Summary
Direct 'diamond push-up' RCT outcome data is limited, but multiple studies show narrow hand positions increase triceps and pec EMG relative to wider positions.
Evidence Type: Clinical studies
Health Benefits
Builds triceps and chest strength.
Cosmetic Benefits
Good for triceps emphasis. Consistent EMG evidence plus plausible biomechanics.
How It Works
Narrowing the hands increases elbow extension demand and changes shoulder horizontal adduction moment arms - more triceps contribution expected.
Contraindications & Safety
Narrow/diamond positions may stress wrists in some; consider handles or fist push-ups if symptomatic.
