Is it worth buying?

the twist push up assist handle bar thingys? My mom buys me random workout stuff for birthdays and christmas and stuff, it is pretty useless imo.  She bought me it i used it once, didn't like how it felt on my shoulder.  If you like doing push ups maybe you would like it, I would rather do normal ones myself.

gimmick for suckers.  there's much better accessories you can buy for under $50 that do much more than that piece of crap.

I wouldn't buy into all that junk out there, theres nothing hard about getting on the floor and doing some pushups, if you need some sort of thing to help you then idk

Obsessed is just a word the lazy use to describe the dedicated.

The perfect pushup might be good if you have wrist issues or don't like a little dirt on your hands, other than that, I don't see much benefit. Hint hint, like Seoinage, my dad got some perfect pushups, IIRC, for Christmas, neither one of us use them. The PPS we got, IIRC, has been sitting in the box since Christmas... O.... I duno... 2... 3... years ago?

do pushups on bricks, cinderblocks, plates, dumbbells, etc, if you want some extra depth.

I never understood the point of that thing, but hey maybe it's useful.

Mechanically they work like they say, they are comfortable to hold and give you more range. For $20 I don't see how they are a waste if you do push ups often.. You don't have to twist them either which makes it so you can vary your grip position. If you like doing push-ups and do them often I think they would be handy. That being said, I got some as a gift and use them rarely because if i do push ups I do them at the gym, not at home.

the perfect pullup is the biggest rip.  it is like $100

Ya it is a rip off, I bought something just like it but better about 10 years ago for 30 bucks.

I think the perfect pullup looks like a much more worthwhile thing to own (although $100 is pretty expensive, so F-that).  You can do push-ups anywhere in your house, but you can not do pull-ups anywhere.  The perfect pull-up allows you to do them in any doorway, which is pretty cool IMO.

My buddy has the pull up thingy, and it's quite useful.  We just randomly grab onto it and do a few pull ups as we walk by lol.

Haha same, I don't wanna be mean and tell her I don't want the stuff though.
