Non-Slip Push Up Bar Stand Set

Push up bars solve two problems at once. They let the chest travel below the level of the hands, which increases the range of the movement considerably, and they keep the wrist in a neutral straight position instead of bent back at ninety degrees against the floor, which is what makes high-volume push up work uncomfortable for a lot of people.

The H-shaped base is the important detail here, because it spreads contact across a wide footprint and keeps the handle stable through the bottom of a rep where a narrow round base can tip. Non-slip feet hold on wood, tile and carpet alike. Padded grips take the pressure off the palms during longer sets, and the whole pair weighs little enough to live in a drawer between uses.

They suit home bodyweight training, calisthenics, warm-ups at the gym and travel workouts. Test the grip on your floor surface before starting a set, and keep them clear of rugs that can slide underneath. Keep the grips clean and dry, since hand cream and sweat are what eventually make a padded handle slippery rather than any fault in the padding itself.
