Occasionally,
THE STRENGTH BUILDER, INC sends their product to reputable, and
noteworthy fitness experts for their professional opinion. The
evaluators are asked for their honest feedback regarding:
functionality, usability, value and craftsmanship of the exercise
equipment. Below are their comments, unbiased and unaltered. The STRENGTH BUILDER does not pay experts for their
opinions, therefore we are sometimes unable to share certain names.

The Strength Builder Ultimate Press-Up Workout System:
Turns push-ups from a mere one-minute exercise into a challenging,
full-bore 10-minute, three-set workout that leaves you blasted. Placing
the handles in the various numbered positions on the board targets
different combinations of muscles -- triceps, anterior/posterior
deltoids, inner and outer pectorals, as well as forearms and abs. These
variations yield balanced muscle development. Includes a wall chart
with an easy-to-follow, illustrated workout plan.

"The
Strength Builder has helped many of my superstar football athletes and
training clients to gain enormous amounts of increased strength, power
and explosion. The ability to vary the way THE STRENGTH BUILDER is
used, gives the athlete an incredible workout that is unmatched by any
other product out there."

"The
Strength Builder has a simple design that allows the user to target
muscle groups more specifically during various angles of the pushup
exercise. I can see applications for athletic use as well as fitness
enthusiasts in general. Nicely built and easy to use, I like it!"

"Very
rarely do I recommend a piece of fitness equipment, since many of my
workouts are calisthenics based and require only a pull-up bar from a
playground. In fact, this is only the second piece of equipment I have
liked other than standard weight equipment in a gym. But I was
intrigued with THE STRENGTH BUILDER because it helped me with two major
issues:
- Hand placement for a variety of push-ups.
- Builds strength like push-up bars can do, but safer since THE STRENGTH BUILDER is a stationary product.
Since
THE STRENGTH BUILDER is slightly lifted off the floor, it enables you
to receive a better stretch and upper body flex while performing a
push-up. This movement taxes the chest and shoulders more than the
regular push-up."

"I
received your product on December 29th and have had a chance to play
around with it 3 times now. Prior to receiving it, I was a little
skeptical about the cost. Once I saw this product and work out system,
I was totally blown away by it.
It is an absolutely great
looking and sturdy product that is made in the USA. Yes, craftsmanship
is great and the agronomically correct hand hole and numbering system
for the bars along with a highly detailed chart is amazing. This
allows exercisers to not just guess at where their hand positioning
should be for working different body parts. This is a great system
that I would highly recommend to all athletes, coaches and workout
entusiasts. I will be glad to assit you any way that I possibly can
with this product. At seminars that I will be having in the future, I
would be excited about demonstrating your product. You can use any of
the information here on your website. What a terriffic product!"

"I
never thought I'd recommend a piece of exercise equipment for doing
pushups, but this product has a lot of features that tip the scale in
its favor. I liked the idea of the pre-set hand placements for doing a
variety of styles of pushup, and liked the handgrip design since doing
pushups on the floor has always been hard on my wrists.
The
high quality handles attached easily and the product was ready to use
in seconds. I completed 20 of the most effective, efficient pushups I'd
done in a while! Let's just say I ran out of energy before I ran out of
options. It allows a better workout for chest and shoulders as well as
triceps than the standard pushup. With the variety of handle positions
you get a complete workout for the entire upper body and core. It is a
nice piece of upper body equipment to have in your workout room." Read the entire review.
