http://www.perfectpushup.co.uk/ What do you think of these. im normally a less equipment the better type of guy. But thought they actually look alrite
I think they are trash (yes, I've tried it out), but I know a few people who swear by them. I did not feel any added benefit from these twisty handles. Some people get wrist pain with push ups, so I guess this would help them out.
ON an completely unrelated story, I've retired the fist push ups for a while. Anyone ever dislocated their knuckle doing them unwrapped?
For years i have done the typical pressup, shoulder width hand placement and palms on the floor. Then i read that doing them on knuckles is a lot more compliant given better natural form and less risk of wrist injury. So i do them on knuckles. Those bars arent needed.
you can get that peace of equipment cheaper http://www.everlast.com/The-Supreme-Pushups/productinfo/EVPUSH+1/ :good
i've seen an infomercial for that product before. dont know how effective it is compared to a regular push up but i know if you place your feet on a flight or two of stairs it offers more resistance and makes it more challenging.
I do my push-ups on my knuckles. It hurts my wrists too much doing them on the flats of the hand palms. Might give these things a go though.
The way I see it : It's not useless but it's not necessary. It will definately remove some pressure from your joints.
THeres no way you'd stick to using a little handle bar for your push ups. I couldn't imagine anything more uncomfortable.
As far as push ups go stick to normal ones but as far as sports orientated training goes I would suspect the turning is very good for boxers.
