The image shows a
Push-Up Board, also known as a push-up bar system or stand. This fitness tool is designed to enhance and diversify push-up workouts by providing multiple hand placement options to target various upper body muscle groups.
Key features and how it works:
- Color-coded System: The board typically features color-coded markings or holes, guiding users to specific hand placements to target different muscle groups:
- Blue: Chest
- Red: Shoulders
- Green: Triceps
- Yellow: Back/Trapezius
- Handles: Detachable handles are inserted into the designated holes, elevating the hands and allowing for a deeper range of motion compared to traditional floor push-ups.
- Versatility: Beyond targeting specific muscles during push-ups, some models include resistance bands for additional exercises like bicep curls, lateral raises, and other upper body movements.
Benefits of using a push-up board:
- Targeted Muscle Engagement: The color-coded system ensures precise hand placement to effectively isolate and work specific muscle groups, leading to more balanced and efficient workouts.
- Enhanced Range of Motion: Elevating the hands allows for a deeper descent in the push-up, increasing muscle activation and potentially leading to better muscle development.
- Improved Wrist Comfort: The handles provide a more neutral wrist position, reducing strain and discomfort often experienced during traditional push-ups on a flat surface.
- Workout Variation: It enables users to easily perform a wide array of push-up variations (e.g., wide grip, narrow grip, diamond push-ups) and potentially other exercises with attachments like resistance bands.
- Portability: Many push-up boards are designed to be foldable and lightweight, making them convenient for home workouts, travel, or use in various settings.
