If so, I think they do utilize this but they do it more as a stretch than a push up although I'm not sure. You're also right that the Hindu Push Up looks almost identical to the Chinese Push Up, but I think (although I'm not positive) that the Hindu Push Up are a bit harder and done with your legs wider a part. And yeah, the Chinese Push Up is easier than the traditional push up which is why you should do more per set. :) Really nice comment Sangita! -Rafi Sangita – Suryanamaskar is a kind of yoga right?

Have you heard of the Suryanamaskar (translated literally salute to the Sun). Its a good body weight set. Also is'nt this push up also known as the Hindu Pushup or is that different? This is definately easier to do than the traditional pushup don't you think? I think the traditional Indian Suryanamaskar includes this exercise.

Even though everyone says that when your hands are in it's your triceps and diamond push ups are shoulders and out are chest...I've always felt my chest more when my hands are closer together and my shoulders more when my hands are a part. It's possible that that's just me though. :P -Rafi Henry – Yeah, push ups on your fists are really good for a chest workout.

One I use is doing pushups on your fists to increase the difficulty and sometimes doing them with a backpack. The closer your hands are together the more you work the triceps the further apart they are the more you work the chest.
