Perfect Pushup
Perfect Pushup created by a former Navy Seal Alden Mills helps you to maintain the perfect form when doing the traditional pushup. The Perfect Pushup rotating handles allows your arm to rotate naturally during a pushup, which accelerates and targets more muscles in your arms, shoulders chest and back. At the same time you will see in a short period of time the increase of reps in your training. (Remember to tighten the abs area when doing pushups as it will help strengthen your back}

I bought these online, just before they started selling them cheaper in K-mart. Oh well. I'll say this up front: this is a great concept. I've used static pushup bars before and were quite happy with them. They make a normal pushup seem like a walk in the park, and the results were so much better. You wouldn't think it, but Perfect Pushup ramped up the challenge immensely. I was no slouch before, but even the basic program had me groaning and struggling like a newbie. A couple of sessions (maybe 10mins) a week, for a couple of weeks, and I was seeing some real results. No complaints about the casing, handles and rubber footing, either. All very solid. Now the downside: the mechanism wasn't built all that well. After only a few sessions, the bearings started to 'catch'. It would only go through maybe 30-50% of the motion smoothly, then it would stick. Very annoying. But ... at the end of the day, I bought them three years ago and I'm still using them. Sometimes I use them as static grips (no rotation), sometimes I rotate. A bit of 3in1 oil helped to smooth out the action but it still sticks every now and then. So yeah, I think I've got my money's worth. I just wish they'd used better quality moving parts. Come to think of it, if they released a new version with heavy-duty bearings, I'd probably buy it.

They are great for all Strength levels! I've had these for a number of years...while in good shape & now on rehab from ruptured appendix. They are so comfortable, which at least in my case enables me to use better form and squeeze in another couple of reps. When I ordered the PerfectPushup, I was suspicious as to how stable they might be and after a good amount of use, they are as good as new, Very well crafted! For me, just basic pushups, being more comfortable with the perfctpshup, feels easier; while at the same time allowing for a wider range of motion and truly accomplishes more with less reps. It was a great tool when I was healhier and it's a great tool now on my comeback! I highly recommend this product!
