I got the Perfect Push Ups today

[cowboyeric8]

So my sister got them for me on my birthday. And so far I like them. Harder to do than normal push ups, but it works more muscles.

Anyone else have these?

I got them for my son. He loves them. I tried them and all I could do is laugh at myself. I won't embarrass myself with how few I did, but it was very laughable

Love em. They give a pretty good workout IMO. Now have you seen the perfect pull up though??

 

[Hostile]

No, but I like the look of them. I used to love pushups when I read the article in SI about how Herschel Walker did that instead of weight training. I invented a flying pushup or my workout and I can still do it though with not as many tricks. My whole body is off the ground.

has anyone tried these pushups:

you get in a push-up position

then you lower yourself, but not like a regular pushup, probably leaving your chest 5-6" from the ground

hold that position for 2 seconds 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi

then lower to about an inch and a half from the ground regular pushup style, hold for 2 seconds

then go back up to 5-6" from the ground, hold for 2 seconds

go back up to the starting position, hold for 2 seconds

repeat

anyone? that's like the total body pushup

I've also tried doing pushups clenching 2 dumbells on the floor, w/ my arms glued to my sides, good for your back, along w/ your chest

I use dumbbells for push ups which basically do the same thing.

For me, I can lift and lift and lift, but when I do pushups it just makes me stronger.

I like the perfect push ups but wouldn't want to pay 40 bucks for just a couple of handle bars.

Just do more pushups.

Me too. The only advantage I see for those things is the ability for rotation on upward and downward movement which allows the working of slightly different muscle groups for a more pervasive workout.

 

[TellerMorrow34]

I don't have any but I've seen them at Wal-Mart for about 20 bucks. I tried some out there and they do seem to work pretty good. I might get some eventually.

after reading my post

you're welcome

Until someone does a pushup on a hardwood floor, dumbells roll outward and you know the rest...

 

[the kid 05]

Ill stick to the dimonds

 

[jterrell]

The best way to get more intensity out of push ups is to superset them with cable flies while doing them close grip style.

I also read about Hershel and as a kid did tons of push-ups but they never gave me any added size just some strength gains. And I could run through 100 of them in a single set.

Anyone under 25 should just skip push ups altogether and just do squats. lol. You will see more results from a properly executed set of squats than you will anything.

Stick to compound movements: Squats, Deadlifts, Clean and Jerk.

I have no upper body strength. I'm working it by playing the Wii I won. Man, were my arms sore the next day.

Get the Wii fit... it's a really good accessory and it keeps logs of everything you do. It will log your balance, weight, age keep track of your exercises, suggest plans. It's a really good tool...
