I've never used it, but I also have never used the easy putty applying cornering device (Worth $1000, yours for just $19.99, and if you order now, we'll throw in 2 pieces of $0.10 plastic that could easily double that figure!). My advice is don't waste your money, master a normal push-up, and if you are desperate for a better push-up, get a backpack and put a book in it.
That's the only claim that is exaggerated, everything else they are definitely spot on.
It works far more muscles than regular pushups, and whatever your max of normal pushups, you're likely only going to hit half that with the perfect pushup.
I love it, but haven't been using them at all recently. If you stick to the 21 day routine, exactly as written, it's not hard to imagine you'll double your number of pushups.
If you do them perfectly, you can feel it in your abs, but on its own it won't do much in the way of giving you a 6-pack. But if you keep at it, say do the 21 day routine, take a week off, rinse and repeat for awhile, you'll definitely get toned all over your upper body.
They are far more effective than regular pushups. Regular pushups don't really do much for you, other than help you do more pushups, and tone up your pecs and upper shoulders.
But adding mass, like every other perfect workout routine, requires far more effort than simply hitting up the gym every day (which btw, is the fast track to pain... and is why the 21 day routine is pushups one day, break the next day, repeating and increasing in effort until the end).
The handles alone are great, but half of the greatness to the product is the great routine they made.
