Perfect Fitness Pushup Stands

Written by Sam GreenI am 65 and have to do yoga to keep my lower back fit. For some time now my right wrist has hurt so much I couldn't do several yoga positions like down and up dog and plank. I tried wrist braces but did not help. These pushup stands are great. Wide, light, soft and very stable. They are very easy to put on your yoga mat and use during a workout. I can now do a full workout with no wrist pain. I would highly recommend them.

These things are great. I've always scoffed at these handles...blown them off as a way for some guy to make money off of the masses. After all, I can do my dam pushups just fine without them...ntil I tried them. They DO: 1) reduce wrist strain tho I never found this to be a problem while doing barehanded pushups....these DO allow you to adopt different hand positions that might otherwise be impossible. 2) allow you to get a deeper stretch at the bottom of the movement...allowing the chest to be hit a bit harder. 3) allow more range of motion when doing pushups with elevated feet.Three final points, I was originally concerned that the construction might not be sturdy enough for a heavier person (I'm 290-300) but these things are quite sturdy. I'm glad that I didn't get the (more expensive) ones that allow your hands to swivel/rotate. I find that I can adjust mid-set at the top of the movement easily, just have to explode a bit at the top. 3) the grips and the bottom are rubberized with a material that seems to be great. Grips ceramic tile and carpet perfectly, haven't tried on any other surface. Also the rubberized material seems to be very durable, but I've only had these things for a few months.....Overall, these are a great product. I wouldn't trade for any of the other, more expensive ones available.,

Love these! I like that the handles are a little wider so it doesn't hurt my palms. The grips are sticky so you don't slip off the handles. They are also stackable, so they're easy to store relative to other metal pushup stands that I've seen. Would absolutely buy again.

I read a lot of reviews stating that the grips were way too big. I bought these anyhow because they are stackable and easy to store away. When they arrived, I did not find them to be too large - they're just what I was looking for (picture for scale). They're sturdy, portable, and supportive. I'm sure it depends on what you're using them for and yiur level of experience but I only use them for push-ups and found them tobe perfect.

I am a 40something fitness enthusiast and parent. I find that I have less time these days to make it to the gym because I am busy with parenting, work, life, etc. Having a fitness tool at home like these handles is very helpful. These allow me to execute pushups in the correct form, meaning that they actually work the muscle groups that they are supposed to. IMHO, pushups are one of the best upper body exercise you can do. They work more than one muscle group and are very effective for strengthening. These handles combined with stretchy bands and a good knowledge of core exercises (like planks, bird-dogs, and crunches) can give you a good, solid home workout on those days when you don't have time for much else. An A+ product!

Very sturdy! Nice comfortable wide grip really makes it easier on my wrists and gives me several options for different grip positions. Love that they are fairly compact and stack up to put away easily. If I could change one thing I'd make them a little taller so I could get a bit more depth in my push-ups. But I can get that by just setting them on something (like a pair of yoga blocks). Overall I'm really happy with them and I'm able to get more reps in my sets because I have less pain. Recommended!

Have used other pushup stands before but most are just a padded steel tubes on some sort of stands that are too tall. These show signs of some thought and engineering. The handles are wider and they are stackable and light weight. Your hands are still close to the ground but with plently of knuckle clearance. I use mine for some yoga poses to take pressure off my wrists as they sometimes are not happy in those plank or downward dog positions for extended periods. These are ideal for travel if you like to take some of your exercise routine with you on the road. Can't think of a downside.

These are perfect for me. I was concerned about purchasing them since others indicated the grips were too wide. When I took them out of the box I actually thought, yep, these grips must have been designed for an elephant. Once I used them however, they seemed to work great for me. As for them sliding around the floor, I imagine this can happen on tile or a smooth surface but I just put a rug underneath them (a rubber mat should also probably stop them from sliding around). Anyway they do indeed give me much better mobility and range then regular pushups, and it's less wear on my wrists which seem to hurt me before my arms start to give out.
