Glad I finally purchased these

I put off buying these press up bars for a couple years, due some of the lower-star reviews. In fact, I had bought the tricep dip bars separately because of those reviews. I finally decided to give them a try for myself, and now I wish I had bought them sooner. I keep them in place at the squat board end of my Fusion model. They are stable enough for the press-ups I do. Do the wing attachments that came with my Gym work for press ups? Yes. Are they as convenient? No. Transitioning to different exercises is smoother with the press up bars already in place. I was worried that leaving them in place could be a tripping hazard , but that has never actually been an issue. These are worth budgeting for, and I would definitely recommend the set of press bars/tricep bars, if you don’t have either one.
These also work great for pull ups. I almost always leave them on the bottom, I only put the squat stands on when I use them. These handles are low profile and in addition to press ups, I can put my feet on them when needed.
This allows a full range of motion with inverted presses without a bar crossing the center restricting that range of motion. Allows better form in the exercise motion that results in better muscle isolation and greater core stsbility.
