Product Description
The Perfect Pushup puts a new spin on one of the oldest exercises, the pushup. Invented by someone who knows a lot about pushups, former U.S. Navy SEAL, Alden Mills, the Perfect Pushup's rotating handles allow your arms to rotate naturally when you do pushups the same way they do when you throw a punch or press up a dumb bell. This unique feature accelerates results by engaging more muscles in the arms, chest, shoulders, and back. It also helps reduce strain on wrists and elbows, and helps to stabilize and strengthen the shoulder joint by engaging the scapular and rotator cuff muscles. You will notice the comfort and effectiveness of the Perfect Pushup on the very first try! Includes free instructional DVD and full color poster that show perfect form along with a customizable 21 day workout planner based in SEAL 2 minute drills that works for any fitness level - from beginner through Olympic athlete.

 perfect pushup with a pain October 13, 2008
D. Rivera (BKLYN, NY)
I think the designers of this Item need to add some cushion to the hand grips. Most buyers are not Navy Seals.
Good solid construction October 11, 2008
K. Karl
These things are nice to use and they definitely do add some effort to an ordinary pushup. This is a good tool to use to tone up and keep in shape and the construction is solid. Doesn't feel like you're going to crack these if you drop something on them. I'd buy these again.
 THEY REALLY DO WORK October 9, 2008
A. Gift For You
After only 2 weeks of workouts, i can already see an increase in size and tone of the muscles it works. Abs, triceps, biceps, back, chest, shoulders. The perfect pushup has also increased my bench press. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Kinesthetically intuitive - this is a pushup game-changer. I don't know how many thousands of pushups I did in my life (ever since that Soviet Army bootcamp sergent of mine told me to hit the mud and forget my name) but it never dawned on me that something as basic as a push-up could be improved upon. Sure, I've did push-ups on fists, one-arm push-ups, on the backs of parallel chairs (at a wedding, tearing the back of my tuxedo*), with a 45 plate on my back, with a cigarrette in my mouth**, on a walker in a Goodwill store*** - but to rotate the Earth underneath me - that's on the order of a Kopernicus/Galilelo type of engineering insight.
Seriously, this is a great, endurable, attractive, zero-installation (just kidding) piece of exercise equipment. Obviously portable and obviously fun. Spice up your push-ups. Isolate that "trice." Spare yourself elbow pain. Hit that chest. And feel the burn... Let's face it: as we chase more and more interesting exercise equipment, there's something to be said about the return to the basics - the push-ups, the pull-ups, and, for this Russian, the kettle balls ("giri," as we call'em back at home).
Here's a suggestion to the designer, however: the only way, it seems, to make the perfect push-up even better is to design it with some kind of screw-on extension block so that the wrist stations could be lifted up/raised up, say, an inch at a time, for additional depth of the deep, to get a better load on the chest.
But in the absence of this engineering improvement, you can do what my sergent had us do: dig a narrow ditch and let your mug drop down into the ground. Or (and you won't find this in the product instructions although this is a classic pushup fine-tunement) you can turn your head to the side as you drop down to reduce that push-up clearance by a couple of inches (by getting your chin out of the way of your pushup). Remember to alternate

Fun pushups? October 6, 2008
Amanda (Florida)
I just started exercising again and after two months of using the perfect pushup every other day I notice a difference. The perfect pushup makes doing pushups interesting for me. I focus more on the range of motion and doing pushups properly.
It's a bit expensive compared to free pushups, but I think it was worth it. Quality of build is great. The two parts feel sturdy and will last me a long time. The glide/bearings move smooth and don't make any noise. I'd recommend the perfect pushup.
