hey suckas

             is anybody else using these things?

i started a couple of weeks ago and i gotta say, i think these things are amazing. has anybody used these long term?

my wife says i look and feel buffer to her (her words, dont hate)
but i actually do feel and see a diff, and the hos at work have been scopin' my shiit hard  .  my biceps, triceps, lats and shoulders are all on swoll from pushups!! wtf??

i guess what im really asking if they are only good at first, and
if there is are any negative aspects of doing pushups on a turntable...long term ?

[Letmbleed]

I don't get those things.  How are pushups with these things different from regular pushups?

[donegalpunk]

You grip the handles like regular push up bars and the handles rotate so that you can 'focus' the workout.

Um.  Can't I just do pushups with pushup bars at different angles?  Is it that you can change the ankle mid-set?

[donegalpunk]

They rotate as you push up.

[FrogJJ]

I don't know if they ruin other pushup benifit.  You will have stronger wrists over regular pushups. 

25 perfects feel like 35 regular I think. 

[wutang]

25perfect feels like 35 regular because your wrists get tired? Is that the point of doing a pushup?

[neckcranker310]

i did a series of 3 groups of 3sets earlier in the day as per the schedule.


I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING ROCK RIGHT NOW,

I NECKCRANKER310 DO HEREBY OFFICIALLY ENDORSE THE "PERFECT PUSHUP"

(as seen on t.v ) 

seriously, for months now i would do 150 pushups in sets of 25 throughout my shift @ work
resulting only a tighter chest. but w/these mofos twisting yor wrist
in the exact same motion as a slow punch, and my arms, chest, lats bis and tris
are all feeling nice and swollen tight and slightly sore ( the good kind of sore)

some dude from work brought them in and leaves em' out for us to use any time
thats the only reason i have access to them, now im gonna buy a pair for the pad.
i dont work for this co. so i dont give a fukk if u steal them or buy them, if u have the means try these things and follw the schedule that comes w/it. u will see what im talking about.

disclaimer: this is only the second week of use, so if i eventually find them to be bunk
i will retract my endorsement publicly as well

i'll be back w/a 6 week up date

doing pushups correctly has been pretty sufficient for me.

I did make the move to paralletes mostly a while ago.

Shop around - I've seen them in stores ranging from $25 to On Sale for $50.

[Saith]

You should spend your $20 on this instead.

I have used these things for a couple of reps before. The mechanics of it makes sense; I compare it to using dumbbells vs a barbell. The rotation works with the natural movement of your body as opposed to locking your hands in one place like push ups or barbells. You are getting a better work out because you are utilizing many more muscles than you would when you are doing straight push ups. If you have never heard the term before it’s called stabilizing muscles. When your hands are fixed you are working specific large muscles but when you move in a more natural way with dumbbells or the perfect push up you hit everything in between. If you’re training for the mat and not just for the beach these types of exercises make way more sense and will help you to avoid injury down the road by working all of these additional muscles. Plus I saw them on TV so they must work. Maybe I will pick some up and put them in the closet right next to my electroshock ab belt.

At first I thought you were serious, but then I got to the end.  10/10.

[Morgan]

I am serious and I’m not. It makes sense and I’m sure they work but why bother. For me and I think for most people there is a huge mental aspect to training. If you sit around and do perfect push ups in your living room your not really going to get that far it’s too much of a one dimensional work out. Plus you always have distractions at home and will always find something else to do. But those things always make sense when you make the purchase. I have $2k worth of free weights in my basement but I still go to the gym and lift 4 days a week. It doesn’t make sense on paper but if I didn’t go to the gym I would never lift. I have learned my lesson save $20 and go see a movie. I heard Never Back Down is going to be out on re-release.
