5.0 out of 5 stars The Gold Standard of push-up bars, June 13, 2010

This review is from: P90X Pro-Grade PowerStands Push-Up Stands: Ergonomic, Non-Skid, Foam-Grip, Heavy-Duty (Misc.)

These are simply the best bars I've used. They're taller than any other bars I've used, thus I get a much deeper stretch. The circular base grants far more stability than any other bar out there. For standard width push-ups most bars will do fine. But when you start going wider or want to do moving push-ups or go real narrow, other bars can roll on you. These are almost impossible to roll. These suckers are heavy duty and are metal, through and through. My only beef is that the foam could be a little more comfy. But, hey, we're working out here. Lastly, the tilted handles make all the different angles you can work from as easy on the wrists as can be.

The bottom line: These are the best you're going to get. If you just need to do basic push-ups then the other, cheaper bars will be just fine. If you're looking to get advanced, throw a bunch of different angles and widths in there and need something sturdy, these are the ones for you. Sure they're a little more expensive. But short of running over them in a tank I can't see ever having to buy another pair again. . .ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth every penny and more!, December 8, 2010

I did a lot of research regarding which items were necessary for the PX90 program. Everyone online said you could find suitable substitutes for most of the items, but the PX90 PowerStands were hands down the best investment. I was still hesitant to purchase them though, $52.90 seemed steep compared to other items on the market.

Well, they just arrived today and I was shocked at the quality of this product....EXCELLENT! The photos absolutely don't do this product justice.

1. The base of the stands are 11 inches in diameter.
2. The handles are long enough to suit large hands, but the 2" diameter is great for smaller hands. The foam padding is thick and comfortable under pressure (I'm 220 lbs).
3. The incline of the handles is very comfortable...I have carpel tunnel, so I was worried about hand position. I tried these out and they alleviated significant wrist pain while doing push-ups.
4. The bottom of the stands has a think pad, so no worries about damage to your home floors.

If you're in doubt, don't be. Spend the money and buy the PX90 PowerStands, they will last a lifetime. Now that I have them in my possession, I'm surprised they don't cost more money. I hope this review helps you with the decision process.

Granted, these are a bit on the expensive side. But when you see them in person, they will change your mind. I just got them today, and man they are worth every penny. They are pretty big, they are made of metal, no plastic here. on the bottom they have high quality rubber for non-slip. and the handles are very comfortable. These will push you to the limit as they give a deep stretch. They go great with the P90x program. highly recommended.
