s.c. husker Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Has anyone tried the Perfect Pushup? I have been using them and it works the hell out of a lot of muscles./ I am 43 and in good shape but this workout plan works, alot of these kinds of things are junk but this really works.

bennychico11 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 haven't tried it...but I've seen that thing. Can't imagine what extra benefit it would give you than normal pushups would...? Maybe just easier on the wrists? Or maybe it just forces you to be more slow and precise with each rep...which is probably what most people lack. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I've used it before, but it really didn't do much for me. Quote Link to comment

Blackshirtsguru Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 I like Jack Black's style of push ups better! "C**K Push Ups" If any of you have ever heard it, it's pretty darn funny! Quote Link to comment
Oklahoma Husker Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Although I've never tried them I think they are kind of pointless..regular pushups have worked for a long time and as long as you concentrate on proper form then they'll work just fine And as for the developed by a Navy SEaL part..my brother is a SEaL and I asked him about them and he says it's a waste of money as well Quote Link to comment
s.c. husker Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 It is alot differt than a regular pushup and believe me I was Infantry and did plenty of pushups, using these devises balance comes in to play and the turning movement gives that cut look. Quote Link to comment
Oklahoma Husker Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Could you explain the balance part? I don't quite see it..thanks Quote Link to comment

If you want a pushup that makes your whole body hurt I have one for you. Get one of those exercise balls and put your feet up on that. Then have two 3 or 4 pound medicine balls and put one under each one of your hands so you are balanced on all of them. Then try to do 5 to 10 pushups!!!! Those are the hardest pushups I've ever done in my life!!!! Quote Link to comment

Those are the hardest pushups I've ever done in my life!!!! well BRI the next time you go to the gym you need to try this one. get 2 20lb dumbbells and something to elevate your feet on. place your hands on the dumb bells and assume the elevated feet push up position. do 1 pushup then lift one of the dumb bells up to your chest in a rowing motion, then do another pushup and repeat the rowing with the other arm. that is 1 repitition. now try and complete 10 of those.

The things swivel and you need to have control so they dont move until you want them to. Quote Link to comment

Yeah, those would probably suck!!!! Would suck just as much as floor whippers. Quote Link to comment

I guess I need to try them before I can completely understand Quote Link to comment

Yea these are really good..it helps to get chest and back work in the same exercise. Works real well. Another one we do is get two aerobic steps, put them about a foot and half apart, and do one push up with your hands between them and push up and put your hands on the steps and do another. That's one rep and 10 of them really burn the chest and arms. Quote Link to comment
