I know you do sets of chinups and pressups in between work sets and was wondering what your opinion was of the decade or so long trend of people feeling it necessary to buy $40 dollar revolving pushup handles?
Is there any benefit whatsoever to using these? In my experience palm to floor pressups mean I get a wrist/forearm stretch that would improve my rack position and save $40 that i can spend on steak.
Not sure about that, have no idea what the conversion rate is these days. But seriously, where I live they are in every thrift store. I actually got mine free at a garage sale, the people were just trying to get rid if them. Don’t pay full price for something like this.
Just hold on to a set of hex dumbbells or put a towel down and do them on your fists. Fist method will help build a bit of wrist stability too. Without having to bend your wrists back at an awkward 90 degree angle it’s also easier to keep your arms at more of an arrow shaped orientation instead of T shaped.
