ADIDAS PUSH UP BARS, pair

adidas Push Up Bars – a pair of push-up handles

adidas Push Up Bars are a pair of push-up handles that raise your hands 11.5 cm off the floor. This lets you lower your chest further than in a regular push-up on the floor and increases the range of motion. According to adidas, the greater range of motion places more emphasis on the chest, arm and shoulder muscles, making each rep more effective and more challenging. The bars are well suited to upper body workouts at home and complement bodyweight training.

Powder-coated metal and foam handles

The frame of the bars is made from durable powder-coated metal. The wide base and floor grips give the bars stability and traction and keep them in place on the floor, so you can focus on your technique. The base is covered with grippy foam, creating a solid foundation for upper body training. The handles are covered with durable foam that feels comfortable in the hand and provides a better grip. The handles are positioned for a neutral grip, meaning your palms face each other. According to adidas, this grip position is more comfortable for the wrists than a regular push-up on the floor.

How to use?

Place the bars on a flat, dry floor roughly shoulder-width apart and grip the handles. Get into the push-up starting position: arms straight, body in a straight line from head to heels and abdominal muscles engaged. Lower yourself under control until your chest reaches the level of the handles between the bars or slightly below, then push yourself back up. As the bars raise your hands by 11.5 cm, the range of motion is longer than on the floor, so start with a moderate number of reps and increase the load gradually. By changing the position and spacing of the bars, you can vary the grip of your push-ups, for example by doing them wider or narrower.
