I received this for a gift. Does anyone else use this to do pushups? Yay or nay?

I bought this at Walgreens years ago. HAD to have it. Have I ever used it? Nope...

Maybe someone here will post something positive about it that will encourage me to dig it out and dust it off!

I use mine all the time. They make pushups harder, so you have to do fewer of them. I use the Iron Gym pull-up bar, too Pushups & chin ups are all you need for an upper body workout, IMO. The best for definition, too. Mind you, I LOVE pushups! Love what they do, anyway!

Yeah, I pre-ordered immediately! I am 2 weeks into the LIS/STS 3 month transformation rotation currently so I am using the new series to the fullest! I also used them quite a lot during that first month after they were released. I REALLY LOVE THIS SET!

Holy cow that's a long STS rotation! How are you liking the pyramid set up of the rotation anyway? I considered doing that at one point too...

Hubby bought a set. I don't use them, why? Because Cathe doesn't (except in MIS) and because I don't care to. I have used them a few times and yes, they elevate you so a) you can go lower/deeper and b) alleviate some wrist issues. They turn, too, so you can have your hands in any position throughout the exercise and that can be a negative because it can feel unstable.

LOL! Wendy, I love every minute of the STS pyramid style rotation. I know my body needs a break after 8 1/2 month doing STS, otherwise I would start STS all over again Just love STS! I will do M1 next Monday. After my recovery week I will play around with LIS. Need to play around with the LIS set, so I know what everyone is raving about Are you still doing BR's? Maybe I giving them a try one day?? So many choices and so little time

BTW, do you have the BR's dip station? If so, how do you like it?

Glad you are loving the rotation!

This LIS/STS rotation is as close as I have come to doing another STS rotation since completing the 5.5 month one I finished back in July 2011.

I did BR the majority of the time between finishing STS in July and starting this rotation a couple weeks ago and I do intend to go back to it in between rotations of other work outs/programs too! I have the ultimate press dip station which is the one they use(d) a lot in BR and I LOVE it! They now mostly use the equalizer which I won't be buying but the dip station rocks!
