Old school training with push-up bars

Push-up bars are back in fashion in gyms and home gyms. They're making a comeback, and no one feels hesitant to use these old-fashioned supports anymore. More and more athletes are discovering that they gain natural strength when they use them .

No real strength gained

It's certainly remarkable, the athletes who have been going to the gym for years, training with machines and other fancy equipment, only to discover they haven't gained anything in terms of pure strength. They can't even climb a wall despite hours and hours of training. However, it's the rule rather than the exception, so these fanatics are switching back to what they know gives them that extra strength: indeed, push-up bars.

For functional strength

Push-up bars are a perfect tool for athletes who specifically want to build real, functional strength. While they may be considered old-school, they do offer the opportunity to gain the strength you desire through targeted training. So you can easily climb that wall from now on.

Use the supports when doing push-ups

Yes, call push-up bars old-fashioned. And you can. They're old and have been used for a long time. They seemed to fall out of favor with the advent of increasingly modern machines, but more and more athletes are now returning to them. You use the bars, for example, when doing push-ups. The push-up bars help in the neutral, narrow, and wide positions. In the narrow position, you train the triceps. If you choose the wide position, you train the chest muscles across the entire width. The key is that with the push-up bars, you go deeper than when you do push-ups without them. Because you go deeper, you develop the chest muscles better. Using the push-up bars also relieves pressure on the wrists.

Gain in raw power

It's become clear that push-up bars also train your abdominal and mid-back muscles much better. This is important, because these muscles provide stability during exercises. Generally speaking, you can say that using push-up bars not only improves your strength, but also significantly improves your posture.

More challenge with the old-school push-up bars

With push-up bars, you can simply train better, harder. When you do a normal push-up, your elbows are bent and you lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor. Then you straighten your elbows and move back up—you know how it is; perfect for your triceps and chest. Eventually, however, this becomes so easy that it's no longer a challenge. So you solve that by going back to push-up bars.

Effective training with push-up supports

If you use push-up bars, you're further off the ground. When you do a push-up, you can go deeper before your chest touches the ground. This means you're putting extra strain on your chest and triceps, which simply means you're building even stronger muscles in those areas. This makes training with push-up bars incredibly effective.
