Chell Dec 2024 7:32am, 23 Dec 2024 1,068 posts	Quote Pin Chell @Muttley Found this on Internet Push-up bars primarily benefit users by significantly increasing the range of motion during push-ups, which can lead to greater muscle activation and improved upper body strength, while also minimizing wrist strain due to the altered hand position they provide; making them particularly useful for people with wrist pain or limited flexibility.
Ultra ChristmasTreeTrunk Dec 2024 7:38am, 23 Dec 2024 18,705 posts	Quote Pin Ultra ChristmasTreeTrunk I’ve got some and really make you work harder but that’s why I only use them occasionally 🤣
Muttley Dec 2024 8:01am, 23 Dec 2024 3,676 posts	Quote Pin Muttley It's the wrist issue that interests me. My work is computer-based and I use a mouse a lot, and while I don't have carpal tunnel wotsit (I think) I do sometimes feel a little discomfort. I'll probably treat myself. If I don't like them the outlay isn't too ruinous.

Silent Night Runner Dec 2024 2:11pm, 31 Dec 2024 1,062 posts	Quote Pin Silent Night Runner I’ve got a doorframe chin-up bar which I use on the floor for press-ups (I grip the curved sections). I find it more comfortable than hands on the floor, and I’ve always assumed there was some benefit from the increased range of motion.
