I like the pushup handles for people that have wrist issues and where regular pushups bother their wrists. This maybe due to a number of issues combined with the body weight on the wrists.

[Harkon72]

I have small wrists and I find pushups with bars helps me because you can get your chest to pass the level of your hands and this gives more me benefit. I find the regular palm down pushup easier than using the bars. I use cheap York gym bars, they do a good job for me.

[chrisw08]

I can only do 15 push ups at once on it. I'm overweight now and trying to lose weight. So a push up for me is like doing a push up with weights on my back I hope to lose weight but take advantage of the power I gain while im heavy. By the way your shorin ryu too. Mine is kenshinkan by master kise what is yours?

[Zaine]

We used to do knuckle pushups on broken glass! Didn't worry about the wrists any!

In all seriousness I do like push up bars because it's less strain on the wrists, on top of that push ups are eventually gonna strain your wrists. A good alternative, and a good way to strengthen wrists are knuckle push ups.

My linage for Shorin Ryu is as follows;

Sensei Rikishi Oya - Sensei Frank Symmonds - Me.

Sensei Frank was taught the style Shorinji Karatedo. He also trained with the Students of the Shojuken Ryu school.
