Product Review: Go Sport-it Push Up Bar

As you’re likely well aware by now, I’ve been cross training like a beast for the last couple weeks. No sooner did I receive the opportunity to try out some push up bars from Go Sport-it did the need to cross-train show up in earnest. Perfect timing. I’m not sure who was more excited about the prospect of the push up bars — my husband or me — but he’s the one that tore into the package first so there’s that. Either way, we’re both enjoying them. The first thing we both noticed was how easy it was to assemble the bars. The added featherlight weight makes them easy to transport, too. A win if one plans on working out on vacations and getaways!

 

 

I’ve never used push up bars before — or any type of assist for that matter. I do struggle with push ups, though. They’re my least favorite exercise ever.

Here’s what I thought was going to happen with the push up bars: I thought push ups would be easier and that I would enjoy them more because I would feel more buff or something equally as awesome as that.

What really happened: I quickly realized how challenging a push up was with the bars. I was still struggling! Fast forward a week later, however, and I went to do five regular push ups, no bars or any assist or modification — and my push ups were exponentially easier! The push up bars, while adding an element of challenge instead of ease, have made my unassisted push ups easier, more effective, and stronger.

 

I was floored. And now I’m a believer.

My friend’s husband is a Marine and he’s always telling us about “breaking the plane,” so of course that’s what I’m always striving to do. It’s never happened for me before, but I feel like I’m now that much closer.What does my husband think about the Go Sport-it Push Up Bars? He likes how there’s less stress on his wrists and elbows with the bars. His lateral epicondylitis makes standard push ups very painful so the bars make it easier for him to focus on core muscles and break the plane. He also likes the ability to turn them sideways to work his shoulders. A direct quote, “they will always be in my workout routine.”

This girl cannot.

 

So bottom line — would we recommend the Go Sport-it Push Up Bars to our friends and family? OMG yes.

They’re easy to put together and take apart (for travel or storage), they’re lightweight so you can move them to basically any room of the house (also good for kids in case they fling ’em at each other… not that that happened in my house or anything…), and they provide amazing — and unsuspected! — support to improve push up form and strength. Mind blowing!

I agree. They will always be part of my workout routine. I love what they’ve done for me so far and can only imagine how much more efficient my push ups will be going forward.Want some push up bars of your own? Check ’em out on Amazon. They’re not very expensive and are totally worth it to add to your workout regimen.
