Does it help your normal push ups?

Yes, greatly. Back and shoulders also. Been working out for many years and find it an excellent way to work out upper body !

For some movements yes, others no. It's easy to max out the stack on chest press and leg press for men.

No. It is more of a reminder to just stand up straight and hold your shoulders back. I would recommend using this while doing resistance training for the back.

I think it would feel odd and be difficult to achieve a full range of motion push up without the rotation. If you really prefer not to have rotation you can use free weights in place of the perfect pushup.

Yes. This system is only good for minor workout. If you want to "increase" your triceps, the tri bar will be better. Nonetheless with this push-up press i change my routines, shuffle them around and increase reps and sets. But that's just me. Hopefully I help answered your question.

I used it twice in yoga classes and found it hard to maintain certain poses. In "downward facing dog", my hands were sliding toward the front of the mat. It left me feeling frustrated during the session, which is sort of the opposite of why I go. For push-ups, it might be OK because the pressure is more centered over your hands.

I would say it does not really compare to pull-ups or push-ups. You can incorporate more arm usage if you are very fit and able to reach more as you roll forward. I think it is more effective than traditional crunches, especially for the obliques and lower abdominal muscles. It is somewhat similar to planks, an exercise in which you use your body weight.

Really a different product. The 14 different positions really give a good workout. Perhaps the perfect pushup motion is more strenuous, but puts greater strain on joints (ie shoulders and elbows). I have both, but use thus product more often.

I'm not sure if the product actually increases muscle, but it definitely gives you the energy to workout harder than you normally would. It gives you that "Get up and go" feeling.

I think it does. I was having an issue with my shoulder, bought this shirt and I had less to no pain while I wore it vs. not wearing it. I don't know if it was just a coincidence but I think it may have worked.

I use "The Perfect Pushup". But You could for sure use these dumbbells for push ups.

I think they are. I don't incorporate the "pushup burpee" exercise in my regiment, but I have used them for "regular" pushups (for lack of a better term) and they have been sturdy for me.

Yes it does. Works pretty well, in my opinion. It's not perfect, but you can still do the exercise.

Not really. It will of course stiffen your muscles a bit when starting out but it doesn't affect hand and finger movement at all.

Yes. It is much more versatile. This also makes it much easier to increase or decrease the difficulty of any particular exercise. Great product!!!

No not at all. The base helps with keeping it steady, I use it to do sit-ups and it makes for a good work out. If you have those stretchy exercise bands, you can pass them through the hole on the base and use it for strength training.
