Perfect Pushup REVIEW

2014-07-14
hey everyone welcome to another review now I read across these rotating push-up handles at the mall the other day from the company called perfect and I've seen these in stores for some time now actually several years actually thinking that they were a gimmick but I reviewed their pull-up bar about a year ago and it is my favorite pull-up bar today so decided to give these a try and see how they work as they're only a $20 hit to the pocket so without further ado we'll get started now in general these are a very simple design the handle snaps into the rotating base and in turn the rotating base claims to reduce joint strain and offer less stress to the wrist when doing your assorted push ups now the entire unit on the outside is made of plastic with the handle coated in a silicone or rubber like material the same can also be found on the bottom to prevent any slipping when used on smooth floor surfaces now these push up handles on the side warning label states that you can be up to 300 pounds or 136 kilograms to use this safely and in general for my tests these do feel durable and although plastic does not creak or flex when in use now one of the things to realize is the perfect push-up system does challenge your body more than a standard push-up at home one of the benefits of using the perfect push-up is the increased depth of every push-up you perform increasing the stretch of your pectoral or chest muscles and some folks might say why can't I use a dumbbell then it's true a flat sided dumbbell will provide the same deep push-up as the device here but the base from perfect and it's rubber grips does make it different that allows for varying exercises to be performed from something simple as wider push-ups where my standard dumbbells would eventually slip to an inverted hand position that I felt worked more of my lower chest and again with this device being more challenging the free rotating handles does engage your balancing muscles specifically your stabilizing muscles in your shoulders and because of the rotating base regardless of what push-up is performed when you're at maximum depth your wrist will be at a more neutral position in turn feeling flesh strain it's not in a fixed position as doing a traditional pushup now these works both on my hardwoods and car perfectly fine on a low-power rug no slipping occurred as well overall I didn't experience any issues and he performed as they're designed to do with a variety of exercises now the big question is is it worth the $20 I'd say for sure it is if you don't have a pair of dumbbells at home already no question these do supplement your regular push-ups and helps increase range and motion but again if you already have a dumbbell you can still achieve similar to same levels of depth and you can work on your deltoids with a bit better results but if you're into push-ups and don't have a dumbbell set and or would like a bit flexibility at the wrist then yes this is a quality product that does work though so I know this is a short video but be sure to watch the pull-up bar video as that's my favorite pull-up bar of all time and it's actually still in use today and check out the activity bands that I reviewed as that may be something that would pique your interest as well so be sure to LIKE and subscribe and again this is Jimmy with Jim's review room take care everyone you
