Hm, I am somewhat ambivalent: These are really nice products, but do you really need them?
For example, I can do push-ups without the machine. ?
No one needs all these devices at once, but each one could help individually. The training with push-up grips already especially the wrists. Those who are somewhat burdened should then train with them to avoid further/new complaints.
Many greetings
