Push Up Handle

To relieve the strain on my wrists I like to use homemade grips for push-ups. They are easy to manufacture and cost-effective. I was able to make the handles entirely from scraps.

- 4 x woodplank ( 7" x 3,5" x 1")

- 2 x wooden handle 1,4" diameter

- wood glaze or wood oil

- wood glue

- saw

- sand paper

Saw the parts to the right length and cut the sides at an angle of 45 degrees.

I used a broken wooden handle from a spade, which is very comfortable to grip.

Use a file to round off the edges. Then drill a hole for the wooden rod.

use some wood glue to connect the handle with the side parts. Then use sandpaper to sand down the joints.

Sand all parts to paint them afterwards. Alternatively the handles can also be oiled.

Add some furniture feet pads to preserve the soil.

That's it. You can use the handles not only for push-ups, but also for planks or L-sits.

Have fun at your next training.
