Does the "perfect pushup" really work?

my friend got it and says it works pretty well, and was thinking about getting it, but i've been looking around and it's been mixed reviews so far

what does /fit/ think?

Marketing gimmick. Do push-ups on the ground and laugh at your friend for spending 20 bucks for what he could've done for free.

If it's just 20 bucks, who cares?

Your friends "love" them because they bought them. Seriously, can you imagine your friend spending money on something and then saying "well THAT was a waste of money, I'm an idiot for buying this trash"? Nope.

I don't know I did 30 of them one night and I was sore like shit the next day all over

I can do normal pushups 3o in a row and im not that sore nor do the muscles that were sore with PP get sore with regular pushups

I don't know maybe PP trains other muscle groups

Uh... yeah actually. I would...

it provides a greater range of motion idiots

whether that's worth spending money on is up to you. An alternative is just placing 2 dumbells on the ground if you own any.

Sure, of course you can, because I challenged you to do it. Can you imagine yourself saying "nope, you're right, I can't"?

Dumbbells are a lot better. I was thinking of adding door handles to a couple of lazy susans, which would be cheap but will add the same benefits.

no it fucks up your elbows.

I used it and now my elbows pop all the time.

Just do normal pushups. nothing wrong with a pushup no need to fix it.

no, it does nothing a regular pushup wouldnt do for you.

infact since it supports your wrists, you get less stability development in your tendons and will develop arthritis at an early age.

Also, on topic:
Usually I just to bench press.
But when I try pushups it always hurts my wrists, so although these things seem retarded, they're better for your wrists as the way you grab them is basically the same as if doing bench press.
tldr: get a bar, weights and a bench.

I concur. I have problems with my wrists too, but I use dumbells. Honestly. Just use like two ten pounders, and you're good to go.

As a general rule, it's never good to buy any exercise equipment that's advertised on TV. It's a gimmick, save your forty bucks and buy a bench, bar, and weights later.

Pushups on your knuckles is pretty much the same thing (for range of motion), but you'll also work stabilizers in your wrists to make them stronger.

I wouldn't pay money for those.

wrist+bodyweight+twisting wrists is a recipe for failure.

This'll put a lot of pressure on the delicate wrist joints and i wouldn't recommend this product to any human being

I use my curved barbell for push ups. Fail or not?

I do have a pair of dumbells too.
