Diamonds, Pyramids and Triangles (Oh My!)

Today's effort for diamond push-ups gave me the following idea:  Why not do diamond push-ups in a diamond rather than reverse pyramid (or triangle)?  That is, once I reach failure, continue doing sets with one less rep each.  Hm....

Anyway, today's effort:

Set                          Reps
----                         -----
1.                              1
2.                             1 1
3.                           1 1 1
4.                          1 1 1 1
5.                         1 1 1 1 1
6.                        1 1 1 1 1 1
7.                       1 1 1 1 1 1 1
8.                      1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
9.                     1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
10.                  1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
11.                 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
12.                1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
13.               1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
14.              1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
15.             1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
16.            1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

On the last set (attempting to get 17) I failed at 14.
