These are the best push up bars I have so far. I hurt my elbow a few months ago during a fall and I had to go to rehab to help the injury heal. Most of the other push up bars I have tried still put too much strain on my elbow. This one is the only one that I have tried that has allowed me to do push ups, while my elbow heals, without putting anymore undo stress on it.I was also skeptical of this one, but it turned out to be the best of everything I have tried, and believe me, I have tried many of the products out there. The groove handles make it such that, even if my hands sweat a little bit, my hands don't slip on the handles. The rocker style really moves with your body, such that all movements are in sync. It's a very well designed product.

The product seems solid and I have just started using today. My concern is that the bars have cracks and rust on each of them.

Five stars and worth it! This is a very sturdy effective compact totally-portable exercise device that I use only for pushups. With no moving parts [except you!] I can’t imagine how it could break under reasonable usage and/or user body-weight. For me [male: 5’6”, 160#] it is quite comfortable to use both initially and at the end of a longish [> 100 reps] workout session. During deep repeated pushups and through the entire pushing movement the flex/extension angle of your wrists remains quite “natural” and aligned due to the rolling curve of the base [alignment similar to a bench-press], rather than the progressive hyper-extension required by the full military pushup. Yet and unlike that same MP, your wrist and grip-strengths will be notably challenged with proper usage. Hard to go wrong with this addition to your personal gym!

I used to do push-ups just putting my hand palms on the floor. (traditionally - it is ok but, if you don't know any other methods you know that this is also tiring -more fatigue to your hand joints- and no as effective). Then, after years I used 2 weight bells (a little better but... still)One of my friends introduced me to the "legend pushup" which I consider superior to other push up aids and methods.The Legend Pushup padded and it is very comfortable to your hand. Also it allows you do do overall better push-ups. You can drop your body consistently below the line....Also, it offers you at least couple of positions as you can turn it on the floor. Fixed or Rocking as it is pretty intuitive looking at the picture. . The Rocking Position allows you to turn your hand a bit while doing pushups and activate different muscles in your body/hands (This is new and pretty convenient). No other bars I know allow you to do that.Give it a try it is not expensive for what it can do. You can even take it with you places since it is very compact. Good investment. I like it and that is why - I recommend it.

What a great set of pushup bars! They look and feel extremely durable. Made from a single piece of metal that is curved just right and painted black. There are two ways of using them; Stable mode and Rocking mode. Stable is when they are set-up on their flat side providing a stable feel. While the Rocking mode is when they are set-up on their curved side making them slightly rocky and unbalanced. That way they can rock back and forth a bit making the pushups a little harder while trying to maintain balance. Might be a little tricky for beginners, but not too difficult once used to it. It is nice to have both options in one set without having to make any adjustments other than a simple flip.There are two quality non-slip rubber grips and one thick comfortable foam grip for the Rocking mode. All are ergonomically designed and are comfortable to hold on to. I also like the color scheme of black and red. They are a bit on the heavier side weighing in at 1 lb 9 oz (each), but I kind of like that heavy durable feel. I don’t need to travel with them, so works for me. The packaging has a nice retail look to it, which is nice if they were to be gifted. Although they are a bit expensive, they are definitely worth it in my opinion. I don’t see them bending, breaking or badly wearing in any way. Stated weight limit says max: 330 lbs./150 kg. Came with a workout guide showing 5 different pushups. Using these vs pushing off the floor provides almost 5 extra inches of room to do lower and more difficult pushups. I would definitely recommend these to anyone who wants to do quality pushups and not hurt their wrists. I do have another set of cheaper bar pushups, but I do like these more. Hope this helps.

I was looking for an exercise product to keep me fit during this winter and saw this. This product puts a new twist to the popular push-up exercises. We all know how effective push-ups are, but let’s face it, doing the same push-ups over and over is not fun. Plus if you do it on the floor it could hurt your wrists. I ordered this product, use it and really love it. First the handles are five to six inches off the floor giving me a better stretch during my push-ups. Second the rocking mode is easy on my wrists as I don’t have to bend them. Third this push-up bar really requires you to balance yourself while you move your body up and down. The bars roll on the floor so the contact points change during the exercise. It feels a bit of a chest fly exercise at time. I found that placing my hands right in the middle of the handle works best. Overall it is a high quality product and will help me motivated to exercise for the next few months.
