POWER PRESS Push Up Board – Home Workout Equipment, Push Up Bar with 30+ Color Coded Combo Positions for Exercise – Portable Gym Accessories for men and Women, Strength Training Equipment, Original

If you're serious about doing pushups and are needing a kick in the butt to actually get going then I would suggest this item. The unit I received was perfect quality in every aspect. No cracks, blemishes, missing pieces, etc. The only slight issue I had was the handles would stick in some of the holes. I put a drop of silicon in each hole and then wiped them clean.... No more sticking problem. Prob could do the same thing using furniture polish. This item is visually motivating with all the colors and graphics. Just the visual stuff alone will get you on track. Many are saying that you can do the same workout using loose grips or even dumbbells on the floor. I would agree. If that will work for you then that is a great option. Go for it. Whatever will get you going. I am not excited about all the surrounding hype about mixing in cardio and other exercises with the pushup suggestions. Again I would say... If this product gets you motivated and actually doing pushups then you are heading in the right direction. Don't let others steer you either for or away from this type of product until you try it for yourself. I would also suggest that you start using this product using the beginners knee type pushups to get started. I am not associated with this item or company in any way... Just my opinion and remember YMMV.

Easy to use at home. Easy to follow. I recommend watching each set on YouTube. Ex, search “Power Press chest 1” and watch. Watch each to see how they do it. Good workout

Excellent

This item seems to be very well-made. I just did my first chest workout with it and it is the real deal. I like that it forces you in the correct form making your push ups more effective. For calisthenic athletes, this is a must have.Board is VERY thick and the handles come in and out of the board with easy but are sturdy so over time they won’t become an issue. The workout plan that comes with it is also great (and challenging) but easy to follow along.I’m not sure yet if this is worth 3x the cost of its competitors however I am a firm believer that you pay for what you get so I picked this one. I’ll update in a few weeks.

Everything Liked! No Dislike at the current moment, bc I juz got it..

The quality of the materials is pretty high for the price paid. However, get a $2 pair of cheap leather gardening gloves and wear them when working out with this. The handles are made from rugged plastic and sweat from your work out can interfere with your grip. Far better to wear the gloves using this. The product does exactly what it says. Pushups are probably the number one, most effective muscle building and functional strength exercise there is. They work all the muscles of the front and abdominal core, more effectively than anything else.....making this exercise far more important than anything else you do to train. How you grip, changes the emphasis, although it always works all muscle groups of the anterior chain. Using this board prevent cheating and incorrect muscle recruitment that could lead to joint injury. More importantly, it allows you to work harder parts of the chain that are weaker than the rest. This is desirable from both a physique standpoint and from a functional one (you are only as strong as the weakest muscles in the chain). The device comes with a reasonably knowledgeable workout program and course. However, there are better ways to do cardio and pylometrics. What the course doesn't know is that this device is ideal for doing isometrics. Even if you can't do a single pushups, simply holding the position halfway, will rapidly build up the muscles needed, even in the most weak and feeble. One pushup quickly becomes two. Unlike weight lifting, this way of exercise tends to cause rapid development, especially combined with other functional muscle development. Probably the best, most accessible book on this is Pushing Yourself to Power, by John E. Peterson. With the right knowledge and a handful of simple tools (like this one), you will get far better results than any gym. Another good investment is an adjustable height, simple pull up bar. Often difficult to find, Amazon has a seller for these which are both of quality and take up little space (mine I have straddling my treadmill and I simply lower it a bit when I need to use it). This simple bar is the most effective device for working the posterior chain of your back. Eventually, you will want to do pullups, but again, unless you are a 150 pound waif, pullups are something you have to work up to. Isometrics are the way to go with this. Peterson has a great Youtube clip demonstrating this and also demonstrating what you will look like a year or two after exercising this way. Another good device is a abdominal wheel. Unless you are already ripped, for God's sake, get the expensive one that has a spring that stores force as you roll out and then uses it to aid coming back up. No exercise is more effective (or more demanding) on the abs. These simple tools fit on most people's homes and are effective and cheap.

So far so good with this product! Love the different pushup positions for different muscle groups and it seems to work very well so far. Nice wide board and sturdy.

I rolled the dice and bought mine from the warehouse. Either the previous buyer labeled it wrong (do not need) or Amazon didn't check it. It arrived with the same user tape job and it was returned with. I found it the have the same broken handle as others have been posting about. So I'm thinking only one of these things broke and Amazon keeps sending it out. But that's ok, the broken handle really had little affect on stability and was easy enough to fix with super glue. I'll take this one off the market so hopefully it's 5 stars from here on out.Other than the broken handle I'm really pleased with the product. It's heavy and sturdy and should last a long time. Those folks who are showing the board cracked and broken really had to have taken a hammer to it. Not sure how else this thing would break.My one gripe is the price. I can't imagine paying more than $50 for this. Right now they're wanting $60 - $70 for this thing. Just Crazy.

I was shopping for a push up bar (to protect my wrists when doing press-ups) when I came across this thing and I was sceptical first, as it looks very much like the type of junk they sell on tv shopping channels, and £60 sounded like a lot for a plastic board. But after watching a few Youtube reviews, I took the plunge.The reviews are all true. This thing is amazing. I've been going to the gym for 3 years now, working out at least 3 times a week, and this thing delivered quicker results in a few weeks than all the fancy equipment at the gym. There is just something about having to push your own body weight against gravity that is somehow more natural than even free weights. I will definitely keep using this when the gym reopens after the lockdown.Yes, it is plastic, but some kind of a heavy duty special plastic, super hard and strong. Indeed, the first thing you'll notice how heavy the package is, when it arrives. It is a big thing, but it needs to be, to be able to hold your weight and to do wide-enough push-ups, e.g. for the back. There are cheaper knockoffs out there, but looking at them after having used this one, they look ridiculously small. This one is just the right size, and it allows for a wide range of exercises.I've been following the Power Press Youtube exercises, still at the introductory level, but after having used it 13 times, I can already see the difference (especially the shoulders, which I just couldn't improve at the gym), and I console myself that it only cost me £4.61 per workout so far, pretty much what a gym session would have cost.

Perfect for home training

This is a fantastic item for anyone struggling to get into push ups. That said there are ones half the price on the market which I would suspect as being just as good

I bought this Product to help me with a 3000 press up challenge. I watched a number of bad reports but went for it anyway. All I can say is it has absolutely worked for me. I've used it every day and varied my position and routine to spread the pressure of different muscles and joints. Having not exercised for over 5 years I'm still injury free having done 1500 press ups anx still going strong. Definitely recommend it.

Was brought for my 13 year old son as he played rugby and wanted to started toning this arm and back strength up and he uses it daily if not twice daily so we’ll worth the purchase
