Simple Product That Works,
By Nerd Alert (USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Valeo Push Up Bars (One Pair) (Sports)
What is needed in a push-up bar? The first thing that springs to mind is strength. While these bars are made of plastic, they have no problem holding up my 180 lbs. during the ridiculous number of push-ups in P90X.
Check. What about comfort? The foam grips are surprisingly comfortable and durable for this price range, reminding me of the type on a pull-up bar, and the angle is well suited to natural movement. Check. Weight is another issue. I can use my hexagonal hand weights for push-ups, but they are too heavy to move around quickly when I want to change positions, including the small adjustments when my body slips around. These plastic hand weights are perfect in that regard, weighing almost nothing. Check. Okay, what else is left? Something that I had not even considered prior to purchasing: stability. To be portable (and they very much are), each bar comes in three pieces, which snap together, allowing them to all lie flat for packing. This leaves little hinge points, which can rock a bit and feels awkward. Absence of check. The simple fact is that a push-up bar is extremely cheap to make and not complicated in design. With that said, I have decided to give these an average (3-star) rating, but I do not want to discourage you from purchasing this pair. While I would gladly give up the small amount of portability gained by breaking these bars into pieces for stability, your priorities may lie elsewhere, making this is an ideal compromise. Regardless, this is a solid product for a reasonable price and I do not regret buying it.

Good exercise bars,

This review is from: Valeo Push Up Bars (One Pair) (Sports)
They do their job and are sturdy despite being plastic. They can carry my weight (134 lbs). I guess they will be functional for many years.
One issue that I found negative is that somehow they hurt my hands while pushing up. Despite having a foam cover on the handle parts, somehow the plastic bar manages to hurt my hand (usually my right hand). I cannot opt out the possiblity that something is wrong with my hand though (maybe it is week and sensitive. Well, the bars are sturdier than my hands, that is true!) Overall, a good option considering the price.

Maximizes my push-ups,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Valeo Push Up Bars (One Pair) (Sports)
Even though these are made of plastic they are very durable and can support my 150lbs with no bending. They can be easily disassembled for travel/storage by pulling off the two legs from the handle - no tools needed. The best feature is probably the angled handle bars which reduces stress on my wrists.
