lol ,

yeah, the only reason i'm even using them outside of my usual training

is that i would be fukking off 9 hours at work, at a desk being lame.
so i set up my own lil gym in the back of our warehouse,


i started doing sets of pushups, they were a great addition.

but these motherfukkers are even greater i tell you suckas right now

i am looking and feeling even bigger and tighter than when i originally posted
all from doing these , and using my own bodyweight nonetheless!!

im going on week three now, ill keep u suckas posted


p.s welcome to the forum morgan

ps2, i would never violate my living room by doing pushups in it, living rooms are for
       movies , video games, green rips, and doin my lady .
      (what can i say, the couch is the perfect height  )

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.

Interesting. I see what you're saying, but I'm thinking of it a little differently.  When I'm doing BJJ, I'm mostly pulling.  I do, however, have to push on a leg or a hip, too.  When I'm doing that, my wrist isn't moving.  I wonder if I'd get more benefit from a perfect pushup that works a bunch of little muscles, or from regular pushups with different hand positions that might come closer to mimicking the types of movements I use when I'm rolling.

i defy you to tell me these things dont work , after just one week

i definately feel it already, it cuts your pushup count to like 60% of regular.

yeah totally

when u first try them, try to max out. take that # and

then find out where you stand on the chart on the paper that was included.

for me i did only like 30 on my first try ever. so now the workout is

w/hands @ shoulder width:  24reps,1 minute rest, then 12reps, rest
then 8 reps

take a break

then hands @ wider stance, same pattern

take a break

then hands close together, same pattern

skip a day

etc etc etc, the chart was hard to figure out at first.

rings.

[Brain]

I've been thinking about putting a pull-up bar in the garage... maybe rings would be better.

What i wonder is how long will you keep having gains using them? Can your body get used to the mechanics and kind of peak on them?
