York Pushup Stands

York Pushup Stands Review



I wanted to get some push-up stands to help with my exercising. I've done push-ups for years without problems but wanted to see if I could gain anything or have a more comfortable experience with stands. These fitted the bill: nice and light, and by all accounts strong, so I gave them a go.

Overall I find them very good albeit slightly uncomfortable. They're quite an odd shape underneath the foam and as the foam is quite thin it does little more than provide a slip-free surface. While that is important of course, the thinness of the foam does mean you feel the rather square shape underneath. They would be better with a more rounded upper surface in my opinion for a more natural fit in your hand. The angle on the handles is nice and helps with posture and stability.

Pros:
- Strong, and angled handles.
- Light, unlike metal stands, so easy to stow away, and would be easy to travel with too.
- Much cheaper than metal stands and do the same job, so great value.

Cons:
- Not the greatest shape for comfort.

Overall, a nice product in need of a tweak, but hard to argue with the price and benefits over unangled metal stands.

Great item strong feel - Mr. R. Rochester - UK
This is a great item and for the right price.Had read some fo the reviews which all were good so when mine came i was so happy i made the right choice.They had soft foam handles and are made from strong plastic they were arrived in just 2days and was well package.so you would be made to buy the ones that turn as they have had not good reviews
(Rotating Press Up Grips)avoid that item....nd get these you will not be sorry.



Wonderful - Y. Mirza - Belfast
All in all this is a wonderful product. The handles are extremely light-weight and at the same time sturdy enough to hold large amounts of weight. Would definitely recommend.



Release your inner hulk! - D. Early -
bought these on the back of reviews, and im happy to add to the positives. firstly the price is more than reasonable, and these may well prove to be the first addition to my home gym repetoire. They took a little while longer than expected to arrive but i put that down to the christmas post.

they are suprisingly lightweight yet seem to hold up well to my weight, i'm about 13.5st 85kg, and they do flex a tad when i go down on them but hold themselves admirably and don't slip on carpet or hard flooring

no complaints at all, they're making muscles ache that i havent felt before, which can only be a good thing, i'll be sticking them in the suitcase to take on holiday for sure

i've not tried any other push up stands but can't see any reason to now i know how good these are..highly recommended!
