Bodyweight Training for the Skinny-Fat Guy [2020]

How to Build the Beach Muscles with Diamond Push Ups

May 3, 2016 by Oskar Faarkrog, ISSA Certified Personal Trainer

Most of you can perform sets of 20+ regular push ups with ease and this makes the push up useless for strength and muscle building, since it’s too easy. 20+ reps will mostly build endurance since the upper body responds best to 8-20 reps for muscle building.
