 Perfect Pushup, or not? May 12, 2007
B. Vassar (USA)
24 out of 24 found this review helpful
I am a future soldier in the United States Army delayed entry program. I am using these to train for BCT "Basic Training" and OCS "Officer Candidate School".
Originally I was looking for some simple pushup bars to get my body a little higher off the ground to increase the range of motion and the muscle stretch on the pushup. I came across these and saw they were made/designed by a former seal so I thought I would try them out. After using them for about a month here are my thoughts:
(all rankings out of 10)
Overall stability of item: 7
-the swivel seems fairly sturdy
-the swivel mechanism CANNOT be locked so it is ALWAYS able to turn
-the unit is plastic with the exception of the handlebar which is a type of metal
Comfortability of the item: 7
-the grip is rubber and is actually pretty soft, it could be softer though, but I assume it was made a little harder to withstand use and to last longer
-the motion of the twisting movement can get pretty awkward and I haven't really felt any extra burn from it
Packaging & Inserts: 8
-they include a laminated type poster that shows you a few basic work outs and give your a table which you can use to setup a pushup program. The included workouts are nothing revolutionary, they just show you how to do regular types of pushups we've all be doing for awhile, but with the swivel movement...
OVERALL RANK: about a 7
My biggest issue about these is that you cannot lock them. I guess it could be argued that having them constantly swiveling around builds stability muscles, but honestly it should at least be an option to somehow lock the swivel portion so one could do just straight up pushups if one wanted. You still can, but they can easily alter the angle fairly quickly.
I use these in conjunction with regular pushups. Doing pushups with these seem just as reasy as a regular pushup and they provide what a regular pushup doesn't: range of motion and elevation.
I would buy these again if 1) there was a locking mechanism and 2) they included some sort of chart showing what muscles were worked on each of their proscribed exercises.

i have never been able to get such a pump in the gym as i do with the PP. you get great muscle twitch in the chest, shoulders mass up in a week and get a mild ab workout. i cant stop telling people about them. screw the gym, get these.
Skepticism turn into soreness April 22, 2007

Perfect Pushup along with the tips on the Power 10 workout DVD provide an efficient and safe workout without injury to wrists or elbows. The circular base with the under padding allows you to safely push and dip lower with more intensity normally experience only when doing dips. Actually, you will feel as if your doing parallel dips. The benefit of the circular motion and proper form is gained from the DVD. The creator of the product and the fitness model instruct and demonstrate various workout routines, but most importantly, on how to involve the circular motion that is truly the 5 star benefit. It relives the pressure off elbows and wrist while ripping your chest,arms and upper back. Include the handles with your upper body weightlifting routine. The only negative is the DVD is overprice and should have been included with the handles, however; the benefit outweigh the cost.
Impressive Product April 20, 2007

I recieved this product about 3 weeks ago and am impressed with how it works. I used to be an above average wrestler in the highly competitive state of Iowa, so over the years I learned many pushup and workout techniques to keep the body fit and strong. I used to treat my body as a hobby, using pushups and dumbbells as my main source of lifting and staying in shape. Over the past year, I've put on a little weight and lost some tone just like quite a few people do once the final years of school, careers, and family consume the majority of your time. Recently, I am looking to get back to old form. I saw the Perfect Pushup on television and was intrigued by the equipment. I also did a little research via the internet to see what information I could find on the product. I wondered how doing pushups with the Perfect Pushup compared to doing pushups normally, and wondered whether I could get into shape faster with them and whether they worked. I can tell the difference between the results from the Perfect Pushup and that of doing normal, flat on the floor pushups. So far I am pleased. Getting acclimated to the twisting motion of the Perfect Pushup is probably the hardest part, especially if you are used to doing pushups flat on the floor. But, after a couple sets the twisting motion becomes a natural movement. Doing pushups on the Perfect Pushup tends to be a little difficult for the first week because the twisting movement really targets the whole upper body and some of your abs. I felt a little soreness a few hours after doing a set of twenty. For the first week, fight through the soreness and realize the pushups using the Perfect Pushup are a little tougher . Try going back to normal, flat on the floor pushups and you'll be amazed on how many you can do. You feel like you have to do 100 before getting a burn. I haven't done a vigorous workout with the Perfect Pushup yet because of a busy schedule, but I try to use them for about 5-10 minutes a night. So far, everyone else and I can see I look thinner and more toned. I think I look more toned in my chest and upper abs so I am excited to develop a more routine workout that lasts 30 to 45 minutes much like I used to do as a wrestler to see how fast I see results. I'm so impressed with this product that I recommend it to everyone including friends and family. Some friends have stopped by the house and saw them lying on the floor. Of course like a lot of people they think it is another workout fad until they try it. I have a few friends that live and die in the weight room. They teased me a bit then became pretty impressed once they decided to do a set of pushups. The burn and muscle fatigue comes quicker than most expect meaning the Perfect Pushup works even with those accustomed to working out on a regular basis. One thing that really impresses me is how easy the Perfect Pushup allows you to isolate arms and chest muscles with ease doing one-handed pushups.
Great product April 17, 2007

It is great with the regular and wide pushups, not so great with the close because your wrists will still get some angular stress, but that is a minor quibble. The product is very well made, light but solid, nice rotation and very sturdy while in use. I hadnt done pushups in well over a year and so this was my reintroduction to them. I felt my core got a nice workout, too, especially the obliques. I didnt realize it at the time but using the proper form does work the core quite a bit. It is harder than the normal pushup because you dip down much lower but that makes it much more effective and you work more muscles. At 39.95, this is a great investment. Consider all the home exercise machines that are a thousand dollars and more and not as effective as Perfect Pushups. Make no mistake, you still have to put in the work and sweat to get results but so far this has been exceptional.
It took about two weeks to get mine because the demand was greater than the supply but the wait was worth it. The earlier you order it, the sooner you will get it.
