Navy Seals Perfect Pushup Review

Pushups have long been a staple of any body weight workout routine and the true measure of a man. Any physical fitness test done at schools or in bars by college students revolves around the amount done in a given time or overall amount done to failure. The pushup is also the staple of the Navy Seals and before even arriving at the Basic Underwater Demolition / Seal training, the candidate must pass a physical exam including pushups. What the seals learned from years of trial and error, was that basic bodybuilding routines and programs created worn out shoulders and other body parts. After extensive testing to determine why their seals were being injured, the end result was the Perfect Pushup.

The Perfect Pushup

The military realized that 73% of Navy Seals were on disability after 20 years of service (cite) so they spent an entire year researching why and found that it was the traditional weight training exercises that did the damage. They switched to functional training and the Perfect Pushup was invented.

The Perfect Pushup is designed to rotate with your body as you put it through the pushup movement. The natural tendency of your shoulders and chest is to rotate, so the perfect pushup rotates with you as you do the movement. The result is less injuries and a better built body.

Benefits

Unique rotating handles allow your arms to rotate naturally during pushups
Engages more muscles, while reducing joint strain
Exercises based on U.S. Navy SEAL Two Min Drills

Its very simplistic in design, but rugged in construction, and the price is right at less than $40 - so there’s no reason not to invest in this fantastic fitness gadget. The Perfect Pushup is available from amazon. Includes a full color instructional poster that shows perfect form along with a customizable 21 day workout planner based in SEAL 2 minute drills that works for any fitness level - from beginner through Olympic athlete. A travel version will soon be available as well which folds flat to fit in your suitcase.

Excuse me, but, could you please provide a reference to the study done by the Navy Seals where they determine the main causes of the injuries experienced by Seals?

Luis, sure thing.

I added a citation to the quote in the article

The creator of the product was the commander of Seal Team Two

From the Perfect Pushup website

As a SEAL Team TWO platoon commander, LCDR Mills’ platoon was chosen for a one year study to determine why SEALs suffered unusually high injury rates during their careers.

Good call. I had quoted that from memory and did not take the time to go find the source. Thanks for asking

Hi Rob,

I just got an email about the travel version a few days ago. Both versions look like great investments - time for a trip to Amazon

Awesome

This review got ripped to shred by some guys at the BullShido martial arts forum after I posted it.

They’re incredibly passionate about what they do and they’re comments on that forum about this review shows it.

I love passion.

I love when people speak their opinions. I LOVE it. Beats the hell out of sitting quietly and worrying about “what others think”

This review of this great inexpensive product is my own and I stand by it.

How many people just beginning their training (including bodyweight training) could make easy improvements by making one simple change like this product. Lots I believe.

For someone benching 300 pounds? maybe not.

or, maybe yes

One poster at bullshido.net seems to think $40 is a lot of money and doesn’t want to waste it on this product.

Simple.. Don’t then.

It’s really a perception of money and worth.

I invest $100 a month for 6 months to fully test a new product. If it does what it claims to do and I DIDN”T invest the money to test it, it would be ME that would lose out.

$40 is, in my opinion, a small investment to see if my chest gets better, if my other presses get better and if any sort of pain goes away.

Hi Rob,

I read both good and bad comments about this product (including your review). At the end of the day, I figured I should make my own evaluation even if it meant shelling out 40 bucks. I’m happy to inform you that your review was spot on.

This is the first time I’ve ever had muscle fatigue to this degree doing pushups (and a lot less reps to boot!). I can also feel it in my upper back, triceps, forearms and core! This is a terrific product. Thanks for your review!
