Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

Don't pushups target the triceps? So you need something else for biceps. I'm gonna try and do them anyway, I already started doing planks some days ago and tested how many pushups I can do (not a lot). I guess I should start from the knees, then get a pull up bar to add some pulling to my routine

Diamond press-ups target the tricep much more than a typical pressup, a normal pressup targets the shoulders and chest, however during the tendon building stage you'll feel your arms being incorporated a lot, that might explain why you feel pressups they work the arms. If you want to work your biceps, I truly do suggest getting dumbells, and if you dont mind saving for a litle while as you are building tendon strength, get weight dumbbell, you can change the weight (2kg-32kg, 4kg increments) by rotating the bar like a motorbike. Its super approachable
