CAP Barbell Pair of Push Up Bars

I've missed doing push ups since I injured my wrist. It is getting better, but the extension required for traditional push ups still puts too much strain on it. I decided to look for push up bars, or the Perfect Push up to help with that. Having used both in the past, I wasn't impressed enough with the Perfect Push up to justify the extra cost. When these came in, assembly was a breeze, just having to screw in 4 wing bolts. The next test was to see how they help up to my 235lbs. I have done many sets of push ups on them by now, and they are still rock solid. The base is nice and sturdy, so I can even position my hands narrow, wide, or even in front and they feel steady. Best of all, they take the strain off of my wrists. These are well worth the money if you are looking into getting something like this.

-They are not the most attractive push-up bars out there, but they certainly do the job! -I have to admit it, I thought because of its low price they were poor quality and that they will not handle my weight but bought them anyways, for my surprise, they turn out to be very, very sturdy even though they look weak. -It supports my 260 pounds without any problem, i don't feel like they are going to bend, break, or something like that, and I think they may handle up to 300 pounds; so if you are below that range dont worry about it. -They definitely have a good grip and won't slide while doing wide push-ups (don't go super wide though or you are going to get hurt because this type of bars will go side way at that point and will make you plant you face on the floor... it have not happen to me thankfully, but I saw it on a video so careful with that!), at least they didn't slide for me, and I guess it will depend on the kind of floor you have at the place you train; in my case is ceramic floor. -A little assembly is required; no tools needed, just align the holes for the screws, tight them with your hands, and you are good to go! And they are cool because you can disassemble them and take them anywhere you go because they take no space at all. -Overall is the best money I have used in a long time, buy them if you can, you won't be disappointed! -And as always fast shipping from amazon without any problem!

I believe these are essentially identical to the ones I owned for many, many years minus a brand name which was printed on the foam (as I recall). They were an excellent product for a modest cost. I endured a pec belly muscle tear and as a result I donated my old pair to Goodwill since I thought I likely would never be able to utilize them again. Of course through intensive therapy and 2.5 years, I ended up needing them again to do "modified push-ups". This product looks and works almost exactly as my previous pair did. The only con of this version is that the foam hand grips are a pretty soft foam and chrome is a pretty slippery metal. As a result the foam constantly wants to slip down the sloped metal portions of these bars. Thus, you will need to keep adjusting them between sets. Fortunately, the majority of the time they stay in place "enough" for you to complete a set of 20-25 reps or so. I would classify this as more of a nuisance than a real serious problem with the product. Of course I would like them to see if they can come up with a foam which is a little thicker, more firm and see if there's anything manufacturing can do to address the "slippery slope" issue. Possibly there isn't, but it is "worth a sniff". All in all, they are a very good product and very stable. I am 6'1" and weigh 202 pounds and these work very well for me and don't wobble like you read about a lot of other similar products (possibly designed more for lighter framed women). I've done a few regular push-ups as well and these are stable for that as well.

Awesome little addition to any home gym. Adds much more depth to your push ups, and gives you a solid set of handles to do static holds. The way the handles break down is also a huge plus if you’re a little tight on space, or traveling. The one thing you’ll notice is the cushion on the grip begins to flatten with use, and stops being as supportive. This will only happen well after the point you’ve gotten your money’s worth, so don’t worry about that too much. A small towel, shirt, handkerchief, etc. is sufficient to bring it back to life, but a really nice work around is a pair of fat grips that you can buy here on Amazon. Both of these products are usually on sale, but regardless are definitely worth the full price. Despite the cushion issue, it’s a smart buy if you want to add a little bit of complexity to your workouts; either at home, or on the road.

This is an awesome set of push up bars for the price. I do a lot of traveling and I love the fact that these bars use a wing nut to hold the feet to the handle. This allows me to fold them down in less than a minute and place them in my suitcase for working out in my hotel room. Some hotels the company books do not have fitness centers and these were an awesome find. As for quality. I want to say excellent so far. I use them 3 to 4 times a week so far with no issues. I myself am 6foot tall and weigh 200 pounds. I use them at various angles(think p90x) including wide grip and decline with my feet up on a chair. The grip is comfortable enough, and if you think that it is not, add a washcloth, no biggie. The hard plastic for the feet have a very slight rubbery feel, which helps it to not slide while in use at home. I have hardwood floors at home. They work well on carpet also. In my opinion, these are a great find for the price. Again, the travel aspect works wonders for me, since I have limited space in my bag for workout stuff. The quality is much better than you would expect for the price. I am happy with this product.

A quality product , great for push ups ,pike press, etc

私は脱臼肩持ちです。 脱臼肩の克服のためには、ベンチプレスやショルダープレスが一番効果的な事は十分わかっていましたが、ダイレクトに肩に刺激を入れるトレーニングは手術明けの自分には厳しく、ベンチプレスやショルダープレスへの準備段階として使用しました。 この器具を使用して、20回腕立てが出来るようになったのでベンチプレスやショルダープレスに移行しました。 トレーニングジムにはとてつもないマッチョ達が普通に生息していて、しかも大抵の場合ベンチプレスなどの器具は人気があって、順番待ちをすることも多いです。 そんな時に、何らかの事情で私のように腕立てすらろくに出来ない筋力（ベントプレスで40㎏がやっとこさ上がる程度）でジムに入会してしまうと、恥ずかしい思いや、いたたまれに思いをします。 ですから、ジムに入会して最初の3か月はジムでは有酸素運動のみを行い、自宅で定期的にこの器具を使って腕立ての練習をし、20回を楽々こなせるようになった後にジムでベンチプレスやショルダープレスに挑戦するようになりました。 本格的なトレーニングへの移行を考えている方にお勧めです。

These are much higher quality than my plastic push up handles. These don't flex, and feel like they are built very solidly. They have a metal pin to hold the base pieces in place. If you are looking for push up bars, I would highly recommend these. They take the strain off your wrists, and allow you to perform a variety of pushups. Furthermore, they can also be used for dips, which strengthens your triceps. Pros: +High Quality +The base screws into the upper part +Sturdy +Metal is much better than the plastic variants Cons: -Grips feel like they might wear a bit over time

Fáciles de ensamblar y ligeras. Las mancuernas son de acero y si bien es cierto que para unirlas no usan mucha soldadura, aun así se sienten muy solidas y no creo que se rompan con facilidad. Por el precio me parecen una excelente opción. Son hechas en Taiwan.

I'd have given these 5 stars if the little screws didn't have to be tightened every few uses. It just seems like they come apart slowly. I think maybe a gasket would have stopped this from happening for many years and so I'm a little disappointed there. Having said that, these are excellent otherwise. They're high and so they let you do a very deep pushup. They're very stable, and so you can do your pushups without worrying about falling or tipping. I'm a pretty big guy, so this is saying a lot. On top of that, the grips are comfortable and aren't going to break down in your first few uses. I don't know if they'll last for 5 years, but they'll definitely give you a few years before you think about a replacement.
