Push-ups are one of the greatest ways to build and sculpt your chest, biceps and triceps muscle groups. They also help build core body strength when done in the correct position. The Perfect Pushup can provide all of the benefits of incorporating a high amount of push-ups in your daily routine, without the joint pain experienced with the normal push-up. This product incorporates bars that keep your hands in their natural position and maintain their ability to rotate with every rep. This keeps your wrists straight, and your arms turning. The bars also supply a greater range of motion for going deeper into your pushups, which means a higher range of effectiveness when building muscles.
Get Comfortable
Begin by simply getting down on the ground and testing your new equipment. Notice and take into account the differences experienced when performing a pushup with the Perfect Pushup as opposed to ones without it. Once you feel that you have a better understanding of how the bars function, it is time to move on to the basic exercises.
Standard Push-Up
Form up your hands to be slightly wider than shoulder width apart. At the height of your push-up, your bars should be arranged horizontally. This means that when you are in position to do a push up, look down at your bars. If the bars are arranged from left to right, then they are horizontal. If they are arranged from top to bottom, then they are vertical. Imagine that your circular rotation pads are arranged like a clock. If the bar is across from 3 o'clock to 9 o'clock, then they are horizontal. If the bar is arranged in line with 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock, then they are vertical. Upon going down from your horizontal set up, slowly rotate your hands outwardly to the degree that feels most comfortable to you. Push back up, returning your bars to their original horizontal state.
Wide Push-Up
Position your hands about one or two hand widths wider than you would to do a normal push-up. At the highest point in this position, your bars should be vertical. Be careful not to go too wide or the Perfect Pushup bars might roll on you and cause you serious injury. Go down slowly, rotating your hands slightly as you go down. Your bars should end up horizontal at the bottom of your push-up. Push back up, returning your bars to their original vertical state.
Close Push-Up
Position your hands directly below your shoulders. At the height of this push-up, your bars should be horizontal. Slowly enter enter your push-up, slowly rotating your hands as you go down. Work to keep your elbows in, resisting the urge to let them "flare out." This could cause problems with your elbow if done otherwise. At the bottom of your push-up, your bars should be vertical. Push back up and return your bars to their original horizontal state.
Customize a Workout
Use the calender included with the Perfect Pushup bars to form a workout regimen. By creating a schedule, you will be making it easier to keep up with what you have already done and where you want to be at the end of your training. Include and write down how many reps in each set that you did each day, so you can have an idea of what your goal should be the next time you workout.
