Good review of these, I had been on the fence to purchase a pair since they came out but could never give up the $30. I finally purchased a pair at a thrift store for under $10 only 2 weeks ago. I feel these are far superior to dumbbells or other pushup bars. More comfortable and more stable. These are meant to work your core as well as chest arms and back so if a person can not hold them steady they need to maybe start on their knees first and work up, I love these, but would I pay the full price? No I personally would not but if you can find them at a discounted price go for it, I think its a good investment if you use them.
@@melvin-fitnessproductrevie7082 Nice review, but I have one complaint. Unfortunately in the review you help promote Amazon. Amazon is evil, Amazon supports ICE, ICE kidnaps kids. Amazon is anti-worker-rights. you should really try to make the world a better place instead you are helping to make the world a terrible place.
Mine are only a few months old and they're real creaky. Scared I'm gonna break a knuckle or my wrist one of these days. The handle seems hollow and so does the plastic they're attached to.
Really appreciate a 2nd opinion on these! Thank you. I used these at the gym and so this is the type I want to continue with. The grip you say is also good on carpet, so that was a revelation. However, I'm going to invest in a 3-fold lovely sky blue thick gym mat and a few other things. However, I will have to sacrifice a pull-up bar due to potential damage, space, etc at home. Any exercises you can suggest as an alternative, would be gratefully received.
Question about the pushups on the bowflex adjustable dumbbells. Would that not damage any of the pieces of the dumbbells? I just know that with all those moving parts I've been afraid to do renegade rows or supported pushups or even gripping them by the inside of the plate for Goblet squats. Anyone have any experience with these exercises with the bowflex?
Great question. I haven't had any issues with the moving pieces doing push ups on them, but if you're concerned, you can try doing it with the dumbbells in the rack so the pieces don't move. I've done goblet squats and haven't had any issues. I've also done pull ups with the dumbbells hanging from my dip belt with no issues. I haven't done renegade rows with them, but if you have some gym mats I'd say that'd be sufficient as long as you're not dropping the weights down.
Solid review man, I will most likely use hexagon dumbbells for high volume push-ups, because I don’t think the rotation is efficient, in comparison to a stable bar or stable hex dumbbell?
You say don't buy them if you are a beginner or if you are penny pinching, which I understand. But then you say that you wouldn't buy them yourself but you don't actually give a reason for that that I caught. Why wouldn't you buy them? Are you penny pinching?
I have dumbbells at home and get the same benefit from using them to elevate my hands for push-ups (increases the ROM). If you have dumbells already, you won't get much more benefit from buying these.
I wasted money on these as well. The adjustable dumbbells are much better. If you are a beginner, you probably start with press ups like I did. Soon you should be using a bench press, if you want to overload your muscles
If you only up here already check out my comment and give that a try being a beginner or a veteran CrossFit trainer this workout will definitely put you to the test and hopefully prevent joint strain for the folks suffering from Chronic pain weather it be natural causes or disabilities from Injuries dew to accidents etc..
yeah, I wasted money on these as well. I ended up getting a bench and dumbbells. They are only good if you want to do pushups for life. If you are a beginner, you don't know what you want
Nice review. Bored of reg pushups for home workout and thought to myself, why not? Thanks for putting this out.
I appreciate that, brother! Hope you enjoy it 💪🏻
My wrists are so iffy I think they might help that. Good video!
Great review apprecite your honesty

Wow for $10 that’s definitely a great buy!! I agree, if you can find them for discount they’re a good pick up
I just got it for $10 as well
Thanks for the thorough review!!!
Thanks for watching!

Great review, very informative.
nice review! also good idea on putting resistance band on the push up. never seen that before
Thanks!

Thanks for the dumbell tips. I have the same Bowflex Selecttech already.

If you have resistance bands with a door attachment you can do lat pulldowns as a pull up alternative
Nice landline
Thanks! It's actually to ring people into the apartment building. My building is super old
Got these from goodwill for like 2$. Perfect for my home gym they give me a serious chest pump
What about the natural movement, as your elbow will get a little wider then your start position? Just to get lesser stress on your wrist??!!
Great review bro
Stay safe god bless you .
I appreciate that, bro! Stay safe too!
I didn't know about tucking my elbows in.

Straight to the point...what about abs wheels.!.. really work?
Yes but not necessary to train your abs
..My question was The abs wheels really work to be used. Do you have any experience or reviews with the abs wheels??
Question is how much did your Bowflex dumbbells cost.?
Just looked it up good lord they are proud of those.
Wrong form. Watch the video manual & you'll see the magic & get ripped

Thank you. You just saved me 30 bucks
Glad I could help
What you have in mind?
Uh, dude, make up your mind. Buy or no buy?
No buy for me
@@melvin-fitnessproductrevie7082 would pushups make u build muscle or no or it just make u stay in shape?
@@kezn7234 You can definitely build muscle with push ups, as long as you get stronger with it over time and eat properly
@@melvin-fitnessproductrevie7082 yeah i do 100 pushups ever other day

Waste of money man, they add nothing to a regular push up
