Push Up Boards and Bars

Push up boards and push up bars both change how a push up feels. A push up board like the Live Up push up board gives you a set of hand positions to move between, so you can shift the work between chest, shoulders and triceps without guessing where to put your hands.

Push up bars lift your hands off the floor. That lets you lower a little deeper and keeps your wrists straight instead of bent back. The plain push up bars are a simple pair, and the Harbinger Push Up Elite is a sturdier pair of handles for regular use. If you want to add pulling work, see pull up bars.
