After reading some of the previous reviews on this product where the reviewer states that they are made of plastic, but are very sturdy, I was a bit hesitant. However, at the price I was willing to take a chance.
All I can say is I'm glad I bought these "cheap" ones as opposed to the more expensive steel stands. They are fantastic!
When you open the box they do not, at first glance, inspire confidence. Not that they look cheaply made or anything like that. But they are so light that you wonder if they'll be able to take you weight.
No need to worry though, at 6.2" and 97kg's I have absolute confidence in them. They are sturdy as a rock and the black foam covering is soft and non-slip. I am absolutely astounded that they don't even flex when in use. These are definitely a winner for me. I'll be taking them overseas with me when I travel as they are so light that they barely make a dent in your luggage allowance. I see them being used for years to come without failing.
The only down side is that there is a complete lack of instructions in or on the box. The stands are slightly sloped downwards in one direction so that it gives a natural angle for your hand and wrist and you need to use them with the lowest point towards you and the highest point facing away from you. Would be nice to have just a one line instruction on the box, but it only takes a few seconds to figure it out.
Highly recommended.

I've used these stands numerous times now and have been impressed with the grip and sturdy construction. The stands are slightly angled reducing the strain on your wrists even more so than standard pushup stands, in addition the handles are cube shaped and, along with the soft padded foam grip help to ensure ur hands don't slide out of position as can be the case with standard round bar grips.
Initially, i thought the build quality of these to be suspect, given the plactic material used, however i weigh 14 stone and they can take my weight comfortably - even when used for dips (aka placing each one on 2 kitchen stools and lowering urself between them).
Overall - great value, plus given their lightweight and compact size they would be great to take on holiday or on any other occasion where you are away from a gym yet want to workout. This sets them apart from the Gold's gym pushup stands also sold on here which are much heavier. Using stands enables a greater range of motion and helps shift the workload to ur pecs and triceps whilst reducing strain on the wrists - essential gear for anyone looking to build upper body power or just to tone up.

I have carpal tunnel syndrome and arthritis in both wrists and could no longer do weight-bearing Yoga exercises that put my wrists at a 90 degree angle. The York Pushup stands have enabled me to resume exercises requiring an inverted position. They are simple in design, lightweight and work well. I recommend them highly.

Worth the money
They have been made of molded plastic i guess. First looks at it, i thought that it would not stand too much of stress. But it seems to cope up. Read more

Push Up Stands by York
Well designed, light yet robust piece of kit. Very good value for money and the perfect aid for doing good effective push-ups. Portable and strong. Recommended.

These almost do the pushup for you!
Pushups are great exercises, but I found them pretty unpleasant because of wrist strain with my hands flat to the floor. The alternative, a fist, is little better. Read more
