More about the Perfect
Pullup
The Perfect Pullup is designed so that it can be
installed in any doorway ranging from 27 to 36 inches wide. The
exerciser also supports a user weight up to 300 pounds so it should
accommodate most people. Keep in mind that the strength and
durability of the exerciser is dependent on the quality and construction
of the door frame.
For those already familiar with the Perfect Pushup, the Perfect Pullup follows along the same lines of its sibling. In a nutshell it is the rotation of the wrist that is a large part of the magic with this exerciser. Instead of executing pull-ups with a traditional underhand or overhand grip, your wrist turns to incorporate other muscles into the movement. However the rotating handles not only includes additional muscles used during the workout they also minimize the stress the traditional movement puts on the joints.
Unlike the Perfect Pushup the pull-up machine is designed to add in quite a few more exercises. Besides improving on the execution of a pull-up, this exerciser also works out the shoulders, triceps, back and even the leg muscles. The key to working out the different muscles is in the ability to change the position of the handlebar. The pivoting handlebar along with an adjustment in body position allows you to focus on exercising the other muscle groups. Of course both the number of exercises that can be executed and the amount of resistance used is limited. The infomercials may lead some to believe that this contraction will replace a gym but in the real world both home and commercial gyms have much more to offer. The Perfect Pullup does have its place and those mainly looking for a good tool for pull-ups can also quickly incorporate other exercises into the mix.
Customer
Reviews
There are a variety of resources out there containing
individual customer reviews however Amazon.com seems to have the best
collection for user comments. Overall the exerciser seems to be well
received but there are a few valid complaints that are worth noting.
To start off with the positive there are many comments stating that the
exerciser really is an improvement over traditional pull-ups. Some
reviewers commented on the quality of this machine however there are also
negative comments stating the opposite.
On the negative side one of the more common complaints discussed over the perfect pushup is that some of the key parts are made out of plastic. A few of the Amazon customer reviews indicated that the parts felt cheap and seemed to be of poor quality. Some reviewers have also stated that the handles broke so this is a serious issue worth looking into. Anyone considering this machine should probably read all of the customer reviews before deciding if this exerciser is right for them. It really is unfortunate that the key portion of the handles is made from plastic; cutting cost in this area really does not make a lot of sense. With the overwhelming positive reviews you have to wonder if some users just ended up with a lemon but in all reality that still is a serious issue to consider.
