What are the different types of push-ups? Are they just for the chest? I do the standard p.e. push-up and sometimes the one where u make your hands into a diamond. Are there any others and do they work back,biceps etc?

It actually depends on what kind of pushups your doing... Not to sound like a wiseass or anything but most of the people i've met dont really know how to do affective pushups...
Depends on what your trying to accomplish too. If you just want a toned body than just do as much of what your doing right now as you can.
If you want bigger bulgier muscles than I suggest the Military Pushups
Military Pushups - Keep arms completely straight from your shoulders to the ground and keep back straight...
If you want to allout slotter the fat and have your muscles overtake your body than just do Diamond Pushups. I'm sure you've heard of those before so i'm not going to explain it. If you've basically mastered all of these than I suggest you get some weights and place them in a backpack while doing pushups to increase intensity of the excersize...
