Then things changed, the Perfect V2 Pushup handles seemed to be the best available but I still wasn''t expecting much. Sure, they are still just simple devices but when I opened the box... I was stunned by the quality (which is why I have to write this review). The fit and finish was impressive both in implementation and design; there was high impact plastic where it was sufficient and metal parts where the strength was needed. The metal pieces had a gorgeous metal-flake paint job like a hot rod might have and rubber around the grips were ridged and carefully molded; there was none of that feeling like someone just cut a piece of pipe and ran it through a section of rubber. No, instead this was of a quality I have never seen on this type of item; it was like the Porsche of fitness equipment. Even the pads on the bottom were special. It wasn''t enough to use a high-quality rubberized surface pad but it was thick and has a spiral gripping pattern molded in and the mechanical rotation action was smooth and flawless. I seriously doubt that I will live long enough to wear these babies out, although that''s my plan.
The bottom line is if this is the type of equipment you are looking for, the Perfect V2 Pushup handles are the very best; just buy them. If you have the Perfect Pushup V1, you already know what this is. These are just as nice as the first edition, but the grips have been greatly improved and the base is about 30% larger... which ensure it doesn''t move during your workout.
Not sure about the other reviewer, but my order arrived with both handled not just one. This comes in a sealed box with 2 push up bars. Not one, like I read in another review. The box is built so that it has to have 2 bars, otherwise the box will collapse.
I have a regular push up bar in the shape of a coil, and I thought nothing of it. But once you try these, there is no turning back. The reason is,the handles are real wide, so it distributes your weight over a a greater part of your palm making it feel comfortable and even reduces discomfort to your wrists because the base swivels as you raise an lower yourself. I was worried about stability with a rotaing base, but it turns out to help with comfort and even allows you to excersie a wider range of muscles. This V2 version is better than the original. The handles have better grip, and the handle turn feels smoother. It''s exactly the same idea as the original perfect pushups in that it puts you in a better position for doing a pushup where you have handles to grip and it allows your wrist to turn going up and going down. But the V2 version is better. just picked this up today. great machine -the pushups are much more intense over standard pushups. i''m a gym rat who bought this for some extra exercise when i''m home. every so often, i''ll drop and do 10-20, adds up to about 200/day. very solid contruction, good cushioned handles, smooth rotation. i have a feeling these will never wear out.
