How to Get Strength to Do Push-ups:
The versatile push-up exercise works your chest, shoulders and arms. Because you must keep your abdominal area tight throughout the movement, it also gives your core muscles an effective workout. Unlike chest-press machines, doing push-ups will give you functional strength in addition to a well-developed chest. Beginners can do modified versions of the exercise to build strength and measure how their strength/endurance levels are improving, while intermediate to advanced exercisers can use a set of 20 to 30 push-ups to warm up for more demanding chest exercises, such as the bench press- Do modified knee push-ups to build up push-up strength. Lie face-down on the floor. Place your hands by your shoulders and your knees against the floor. Push away from the floor so only your knees and hands are in contact with the floor. Your legs should be bent and crossed behind you. Lower yourself back to the floor. Repeat as many times as you can, or until you can do 20
- Do standing push-ups. Stand facing a wall. Place your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the wall. Step back until your feet are 2 to 3 feet away from the wall so that your body is at an incline. Bend your elbows until your face almost meets the wall, then extend them again. Repeat as many times as you can, or until you can do 20
- Do planks to develop core and shoulder strength. A plank is a stationary push-up, meaning instead of bending your elbows and lowering your body, you remain in the "up" position the entire time. Hold for as long as you can, working up to three minutes
- Do incline push-ups. Do push-ups against an object such as a table or weight-training bench to place your body at more of an incline, thereby increasing the difficulty of your push-ups. Bend your elbows so your body lowers toward the ground and then back up again, repeating for as many repetitions as you can. Aim for a goal of 20. Your elbows do not have to bend into a full push-up (90-degree angle) position. Keep practicing, bending lower and lower, and eventually you will be strong enough to go that low
- Do "halfway" push-ups. Find a thick mat and practice lowering yourself into the "down" position of a full push-up. Hold for as long as you can. Let yourself collapse onto the mat once your arms give out. This is similar to doing a plank, except your elbows are bent. According to the website Shape Fit, hitting your muscles from different angles will increase your strength
How to Use Push Up Bars:
Push-up bars are used to work out your upper body. Muscle area's such as the chest, arms and back get a complete workout when you do push ups. Push-up bars were developed to add stabilization to the workout. Keeping a firm grasp on the bars will prevent slippage and wrist pain. Of course, knowing the proper way to use push-up bars is essential if you wish to build strength in your upper body
- Find an even, flat area to work out. You will not need an exercise mat unless you plan on placing your knees on the ground. Remove all loose debris around the area
- Place the push-up bars on the ground. They should be shoulder width apart. Test to see that they are positioned correctly by grasping each bar and locking your arms tight. Slowly move over the push-up bars until your shoulders are over the bars. Your hands should be directly below your shoulders, maybe a bit wider for a tougher workout
- Stretch your legs out behind you. Place your toes on the ground so your feet stand up vertically from the ground. Carefully push up from the push-up bars until your arms are fully extended. Check your form and make sure your back and legs are straight and breath out as your push with your arms. Breath in as you come down
- Continually push away from the bars, then slowly lower yourself again. Lower yourself until your hands are even with your chest, not your face. Keep your stomach and chest off the floor. Your arms and upper chest will support almost all your weight as you workout. Try doing three repetitions of 15 pushes with the push-up bars
- Modify the workout by slightly bending your knees and placing them on the ground, instead of keeping your legs straight and locked out behind you. This transfers some of the weight to the knees and legs instead of all the weight bearing on the upper chest, back and arms
Tips & Warnings:
- Always check with a doctor before beginning a new exercise

09-19-2011- Other Thoughts: I will admit - they look better in that picture! <br/> <br/>They are made of plastic so they are very light - I was expecting something heavier; the ones I’m used to be metal so those feel sturdier

09-19-2011- Other Thoughts: A little too light and the padding is insufficient. Spend more for a heavier steady product that doesn't hurt your hands

They even seem a bit taller than my old pair, which should help in giving me better workout results. I also like the fact that they can be disassembled for storage or portability. Very satisfied!

09-18-2011- Other Thoughts: These are Push Up Stands. But I have to keep re-tightening (by hand) the wing nuts which hold the push up holder together.
