Perfect Push up exercises....any websites?

[Remobz]

I just got the original (V1) Perfect Pushup for free from my brother-in-law.

I have no manuals or DVD's and would like to know of any websites to get an idea of what exercises to do for different body parts.

I am doing Google searches right now, but maybe I missed a good website?

You do pushups... and wide grip pushups... and close grip pushups... and incline pushups... and decline pushups... Just change where the grips are and try to press yourself up. Honestly, you can do any of the movements without the perfect pushup and be just fine

They have the manual, and all the workouts at perfectfitness.com the manufacturer of the product.

But really, you just do pushups with these same way you'd do pushups without them.
I somewhat disagree with the previous poster. Yes, it is true that no one really "needs" the perfect pushup, but if you have it you might as well use it, because the perfect pushups makes regular pushups more challenging. I can really tell the difference when I use mine. I hate how much harder it gets so I end up just doing pushups on my hands, but if I stuck with it instead of giving in to my weakness, I am sure I'd have much better results.

to say the PP makes a push-up more challenging is an understatement. I can do 25 normal oens fine, maybe 30-35 if I pushed myself. I can do about 8 proper one with my PP, and honestly I'm struggling after 5. It's an evil machine.

I got mine for free so why not use it right?

Anyway, I am sore as heck today!! I really felt my muscles work as compared to regular push ups.

Personally, I like the product

I found some exercises on youtube.

free? hell yes, I paid $40 for my V2's and I don't regret buying them at all. I think people who carry on about how they're worthless and don't work any better than regular push-ups have never used them before. It's crazy how something so simple looking can make a push-up so much harder.

Since we are on the topic, I want to recommend the perfect pullup. I got it for only $14 on newegg some time ago and its great. It allows you to do a wide range of back exercises from the regular pullup to the australinan pullup, plus you can use it to support yourself during early stages of learning the pistol squat.

Why is there that much difference in how many reps you can get vs. regular pushups? I don't do any pushups in my training, but when I have been tested I have gotten

regular pushup - 40
hands on kettlebell grips, kettlebells on the ground, feet on normal-height table - 15
hands on gymnastics rings suspended just above ground, feet on ground - 5

Surely PP doesn't add mechanical disadvantage as much as the feet-on-table pushup?

With the PP you rotate it 45 degrees as you go down and back 45 as you go up. While going down I don't really feel like it's much tougher, but doing it while going back up UGH. It just takes a lot more effort and my arms get wobbly and start to burn way quicker. I find it even harder to do them on a PP than diamond push-ups, which also kick my ass way quicker than the normal shoulder width ones.

Ah, the rotation explains it. You have a lot of pushing strength relative to your stabilizer/core strength and PP demands more of the latter. Ring pushups are hard for the same reason although in another league in difficulty.
