How to do Wide Grip Pushups Using Perfect Pushup Handles
Perfect Pushup handles are a good way to get an effective upper body workout without the trip to the gym. Their rotating handles are designed to target more muscle groups and provide a better workout than standard push-ups. However, you can enhance your chest workout more by using the handles for wide-grip push-ups.

Set the push-up handles on the floor in front of you roughly 1 inch outside of shoulder width on each side. A common rule is, the wider you place the handles, the harder your workout will be. You want the handles to be running horizontally.

Use the same form as you would when doing a standard push-up. With your toes on the floor and your back and neck straight, slowly lower your body to within a few inches of the ground. As you do so, breathe in and rotate the push-up handles 90 degrees clockwise so they run parallel to your body.
