Sorry i do not know about the bars you are talking about, so i can not answer your Question! but i know that these Gorilla Fitness Push up Bars are Great! : )

Yes, they are better, actually much better. The definity's are quite "wobbly" and when you're training for planche (pushups with your legs in the air...unsupported) like I am, you want a product that feels solid - the Gorilla stands are very well made and very solid and surprisingly light weight. You will know the difference if you get them - if you're looking for assurance so you don't waste money, I can assure you they are better as I have both - I have been using the gorilla stands frequently with no issues at all.

Not sure about the others, but the Gorilla bars are metal construction throughout and thick foam on the handles. A really solid set of bars. Also a one year gaurantee.

I have used them on every piece of equipment at the gym that I go to and that does include Olympic bars (straight bars, z-bars/curl bars). I've used them on the ropes for my rope pull downs and I have used them on hammer strength equipment. I absolutely love them and they're very versatile. Let me know if that answers your question.

I use the bodylastics bands for rowing and the easy clipping on and off the heavy duty handles is a breeze to do. These handles are top quality and I use them with the heavier resistance bands. I have and use other quality built bands also, but for the handles its all about bodylastics.

I have these bars and while riding there is almost no pressure on your wrists at all.. It's all in the forearm, and the wrists are only resting on the bars themselves. I suggest you buy some sort of tape before putting them on your bars because the metal clamps will scratch your handlebars, and in my opinion aren't quite tight enough by themselves. However, for the price these cant be beat.

Yes, I believe I did. The squat rack is nicely built and extremely sturdy and durable. The pull up bars are heavily padded----with a strong material not like those other pull up bars that fall apart with a few weeks of use.It also has many safety features as well as j-hooks for you to rest the bar. I loved the lat attachment which you have to purchase separately. It's a very convenient way to work arms, back and even abs.I hope I answered your question.Take care

They're push up bars. You don't have to have them and they move, They also help with stability as the stand will move when you punch the bag. I love them, they're great for push ups

I had the doorway pull up bar first for several months. Since having the power tower I would not go back to using the doorway bar. The pull ups feel more natural. To me anyways I love it. Its sturdy but keep in mind it all depends how clean your pull ups are. If your kipping (jerking your body) then it will wiggle around on you.

Well I am attaching them to the Iron Gym pull up bar I bought and they fit nice on that. They would probably fit on perfect pull up bar, but compare the bar size of that to the iron gym that I know works...see link below for the pull up bar I have.

I actually have 2 of these bars 1 is for my classic elite set and 1 is for my urethane set they do not make one for the sport set I like the classic set just because I like the sound and feel of steel better the urethane is better if your going to abuse because they take it I actually have 3 sets I bought my first set in 2004 and the classic bar will work with this set also no matter which set you buy you won't regret it its well worth every penny the bar is just the cherry on top

Yes, they are great for barbell hip thrusters (i.e. glute ham raises) which is why I purchased the squat sponge. I use the squat sponge up to my current max of 505 lbs. The squat sponge is much more comfortable to use for glute ham raises then folding a bunch of exercise pads. Just be careful that the slit in the squat sponge is facing up so the sponge doesn't squeeze off the barbell when you lift up.

This bar is sturdy and well constructed, but I've never used the iron gym pull up bar, so to me, a pull up is a pull up. I'm guessing if you get this (or any other) pull up bar, you'll be able to do pull ups...provided you are able to do pull ups in the first place.

I use them for pushups. Also using them for situps instead of overhead bar makes the resistance greater.

I just purchased these, so I am in the experimental stage of use. I noticed a definite difference just doing light curls. I attached them to a pair of 25# d.b.'s and then took them off for a set and there is a noticeable difference. I am not an Exercise Scientist by any means, but I have to assume increased resistance is going to be beneficial, and would translate to all lifts. If that helps, glad I could.

According to the website www.rowingmachineking.com, they are the same product. Proteus was the trade name before CAP Barbell acquired it.

Hi Ryan ....I personally prefer the bowflex...ten years we stored one of our kids bowflex so I started using it.....three years later he took it...I really missed it as it toned muscles and strengthened them....since then we've had the total gym and have done crossfit.....went back to the bowflex and am very happy we did.....the combination of the power rods (210lbs) gives me all the resistance I need for muscle strength and toning .....I also like the idea that I can exercise on my time....I would recommend this for building muscles and toning...HAPPY EXERCISING!
