push-up barsThey do the job, but they are cheaply made--all plastic frame and the foam padding is very thin.
They do what they are supposed to.
I can't say that I have any complaints about them. I picked them up about 1/2 way through my 90 days of P90x and I have to admit they do making doing pushups easier and allows you to go deeper. I may pick up a larger set for the next round, but wouldn't have any issues about buying another set of these if I needed them.
A little disappointed
I am currently attempting to complete P90X and bought these push-up bars after reading a few reviews. I am disappointed with them in two areas. One, they are not nearly as comfortable as I would have thought. When using them they dig into the heal of my hand. These are the first push-up bars I've ever used, so maybe this is normal, but the handle is not completely round and so has a corner (all be it not a sharp one) that can dig into one's palm. Two, when using them in a wide push-up position, they have rolled on me. The base is not wide enough to adequately stabilize wide push-ups. I don't use them for this particular exercise any more. However, I do use them for standard and military push-ups. It is still nicer to use these than to use the floor. More range of motion and not nearly as much stress on my wrists.
Does its job, does it well!
These little guys work great and do what they're made to do. They're the perfect high above the ground (I'm not a fan of really high pushup bars). As for the people who say they roll on you, you're not doing your pushup correctly. Military, wide, whatever, all pushups should be done with force being pushed straight downward. If your force is at an angle, they will roll, which will teach you to do a proper pushup.
For the price these little guys it's a real no-brainer. Small, light, durable, and the iron-like shape of them allow you to do diamond pushups with them as well. My only complaint is that I wish handles were solid and didn't have the hollow bottom (hard to explain, but you'll know when I'm talking about then you use them for the 1st time). It just feels funny, but you get use to it. All-in-all, awesome product. My productivity with pushups went through the roof and all wrist pain is gone.
push ups made easier
These things work great! I was skeptical at first, but when I got these and first tried them, I was amazed. It really takes a lot of strain off of your wrists, and make getting up and down so much easier. What a great product! Sturdy and well made too!
