Push ups are a great exercise, and when doing them (as rare as it is) I like to use my round dumbells to get the same effect as those things.

World record pushups in 1 minute

I don't deny them to be a great exercise, and I do them along with some other body weight exercises from time to time (mainly seems like I throw them in on cardio nights...). I was laughing a little more at the product claim than the exercise really.

I am not sure I follow the benefit of the rotation myself....

I've tried pushups while pressing on dumbells but it just feels awkward for me. Without gloves though. lol

I normally do them on an elevated board, from the bench, or just from the floor.

I do them at the end of chest day, supersetted with dips. Killer burn. The only other time I do them is for my annual PT test in the military. I have to do like 48 in a minute for full 10 pts. I usually just do 50 and rest that last few seconds.

LOL...I've seen the little infomercials for those things, and I'm not gonna lie, I was tempted to order them....but I'm an infomercial whore, and I order almost everything I see.
(BTW...I wasn't gonna get them cause I thought it would make me ripped in 21 days or anything, I just thought that they were cool, cause they spin...hahaha).
