Sports reviews of GoFit Push-Up Bars
Customer Review: Now drop and give me 50!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
These push-up bars are sturdy, light and YOU WILL DEFINITELY GET A BETTER WORKOUT THAN ORDINARY PUSH-UPS THAT YOU WILL FEEL AND SEE if you use them diligently, properly and don't over-train. I even take them on the road with me (unless I'm flying) because they're light and don't take up a lot of room in my gym bag.
Push-up bars bars like these are a necessary part of any home fitness equipment to give you greater range of motion (and therefore forcing you to recruit more muscles in your arms, chest and back) than ordinary push-ups. I bought my set in the spring of 2005 when I was rehabbing my body after cancer, chemo and radiation had kicked the crap out of me and I had lost over thirty pounds. With these guys and variations of grip (wide, neutral, semi-narrow), I had significantly increased my upper body strength and mass over all in a couple of months and was ready to hit the gym again.
The only drawback is that the foam padding is a tad skimpy which can get to be hard on the heels of your palms and wrists if you're doing multiple sets with high reps in a neutral position. I give these bars 5 stars for the price, the function they serve, and because they've held up nicely with fairly regular use over two years.
Addendum - 052408: It's been over three years now and they're still a staple of my home workout routine 2x a week. I do multiple reps to failure each set, so they get fairly rigorous use. Foam padding is holding up and no signs of wear and tear. I will say that if you're over 210 you might want to consider something heavier. But if you're in the 160 - 200 range (after cancer, when I first bought these - see above-, I was 147 lbs and am now 178), these should serve you just fine.
Addendum #2 - 5/3/2009. Four years now, and after lots of use (did multiple sets yesterday evening when I couldn't get to the gym) showing only minor splitting in the foam padding. I'm a steady 180, and they hold me up just fine. I've gotten more than my money's worth from these guys. When the foam finally gives it up, I'll buy another set.
Addendum # 3 - 3/13/2010. Almost 5 years and I'm STILL using them twice a week in the a.m. to get the blood flowing. 3 sets - wide, medium and neutral - feet (toes only) propped on a BOSU, to failure. The foam that was splitting a year ago hasn't gotten any worse. A friend bought me some "Perfect Push-ups" rotating discs see my review of that product Perfect Push-up - Original if you like, which I also use as break from the bars. I like the Perfect P-U's, but these guys remain my "go to" for body-weight chest, anterior delt and tri's strengthening because of the increased range of motion (slight, but noticeable).
Addendum # 4 - 11/17/2010 - Gave away my Perfect Push-up discs last month. In the last six months, hardly ever used them. Meanwhile, the Go-fits (the ones I originally purchased) STILL get regular hard use at home, even on "chest days" at the gym, and on the road. Foam splitting on one, but still holding out even after more than 5 years of use.
Description of GoFit Push-Up Bars
The GoFit Push-Up Bars are a great tool to develop your upper body strength. The muscle groups that are primarily used are the pectorals (chest) and triceps (back of arms). The GoFit Push-Up Bars allow for a greater range of motion, giving you better and more efficient development of these muscle groups.No other exercise, outside of weight training, builds and tones the pectoral and tricep muscles more efficiently than push-ups. Now you can take your push-ups to the next level with this pair of GoFit push-up stands. By gripping the handles of the stands, you'll enjoy a greater range of motion during push-ups, helping your muscles develop even more efficiently. Plus, the stands are extremely compact, so you can store them easily in a closet or stuff them in a suitcase while traveling. Also great for core fitness, the GoFit push-up stands let you get in a great workout anytime, anywhere.
