The power press

Let's look at what you get for around 46 bucks on Amazon. Included are 1 push up board, two handles, exercise DVD and workout guide. The great thing about Powerpress is the design of the board. The handles fit easily into preset spots that target different muscle groups. Each color coded section chest, back, shoulders and triceps has 2-5 different hand positions for versatility in your workout. This is great for training different parts of your body and isolating specific muscles. The included workout plan and DVD provide more guidance and structure for your workout.
To be honest, the DVD is not very exciting and features the exact same standard warm-up from every workout video ever and nothing really insightful in the workouts. The concept is solid though, featuring exercises alternating between plyometrics and push ups.

While the Power Press Push Up Board is not a complete revolutionary workout system, it is a great tool. What it does provide is consistency in hand placement which forces you to use correct form, and the versatility to change up your movements. It is a great tool for building strength and targeting neglected muscle groups. The variety of options make this great for muscle confusion or HIIT training. Using Power Press consistently will improve your strength and and ability, but so will the perfect push up, push up bars or even good old fashioned hands on the floor push ups like the military has been doing forever. In the end this is a good product but it is not necessary. If you need more structure in your training, this may be the thing for you, but if you're not overflowing with cash these days you might want to wait a few months until its $19.95 at Walmart.
