Diamond Pushups; changing skinny people forever

avatar

I have not seen fitness articles on here with the exception of the actifit result posts. If I am using the wrong tags someone please let me know.

I have recently gained 35 pounds over the last few months the only major change is I added pushups to my daily regimen.

My diet has not been drastically altered. I am terrible about counting calories. I am focused more on weight gain so I just keep eating as much as possible to combat my high metabolism.

By far the hardest one for me that has made the most noticeable impact has been the diamond pushup. I have been doing pushups for years so I assume the different muscle groups in the diamond are something that are still raw comapred to my muscles that have done thousands of pushups over my life time.

Whenever I show someone how to do anything especially if it involves their body and form I always refer to visual mediums so they can go back to it time and time again.

The most important thing in any exercise or anything in life, is to do it right. You can do 50 pushups but if your form is trash then your physique will look trashy.

I never try to count my max pushups but how many it takes until my form starts to giveway. If you focus on the form you will notice drastic improvements over time.

If you liked this content let me know I can make more posts about health and fitness. Crossfit has shown us the greatest sport is us against ourselves.

Comment below your favorite fitness tip and how it impacted your life.

Did diamond pushups @swolesome, Long before you were born my good son You give a great deal of excellent guidance in this post,I appreciate it.

@nathanmars you listening? Maybe instead of being the push-up King calling your fellow Steemitzens lazy to promote yourself* you listen to this young man wishing to help our fellow Steemitizens.

Note:   Yeah, this old man can still do a proper Marine Corps pushup ...

Never tried these and you could be right that it uses different muscle groups. Look forward to more of these as there is not much content on the platform that is really a sports post.

A lot of my focus on working out is to not be skinny. When a girl brushes your chest casually on a date and is impressed. NEVER had that in high school. Miracle of pushups.

This is really great info, I will add diamond pushs into my routine. They are a little harder than the wide pushups. Thanks.
