It seems that not a week goes by without being subjected to a five-minute infomercial about the latest product, like Deutsch connectorsallegedly certain to give you a rippling 8 pack or ‘massive’ arms in seconds. Makers of these products feed off the stupidity of people that believe the promises made by advertisers. The latest in a endless production line of tacky, badly made fitness products is the perfect push up, this consists of two rotating discs with handles that can be used to twist.

The push up bar was originally pioneered to allow home workout junkies to get more ‘range of motion’ on the much loved exercise. Rather than simply stopping a pushup on the downward phase once you reach the floor, push up bars allow you descend further as you are elevated from the ground. As an addition to this feature, the perfect pushup system allows the users to rotate their palms inwards or outwards on the upward or downward phase of the motion. Admitedly this is a clever invention, exercise gurus have long tried to incorporate such a movement into the exercise and the perfect pushup finally allows a simple way to do this, however it can be replicated without the flash equipment electrical fuses.

The bars are rubber coated for a consistent, comfortable grip and the discs are made of good quality durable plastic, with deluxe metals versions also available. The bottom of the pads have a rubber coating meaning they won’t slide around on shiny surfaces. Like so many similar products The Perfect Pushup facilitates your workout rather than enhancing it, like electrical components enhance circuit boards. Many will find the dramatic TV adverts a big draw and will feel motivated to workout using the product as a result, but the truth is you can build just as much muscle and increase endurance from doing traditional pushups as part of an overall good diet and workout plan.
