The ending position of the decline push-up

Diamond Push-Ups – so named because your hands are positioned so that your thumbs and index fingers form a diamond, this is a difficult exercise. The hand position concentrates the weight and makes the move more challenging and also targets your triceps.

Archer Push-Ups - these are one of the most difficult variations of push-ups, as you are altering your body position so that you are concentrating most of your weight on one arm. Archer push-ups should not be attempted until you have mastered all the preceding variations listed in this book. They are called “archer” because your posture if viewed from above would resemble that of an archer with bow and arrow drawn back. The more straight your outstretched or support arm, the more weight is distributed to your pushing arm and the more difficult the exercise is. The hand of your pushing arm will almost be below the center line of your body. You can perform the exercise by alternating arms every other rep (in a kind of side-to-side motion) or do one arm at a time.
