Looking to take your push-ups to the next level?
Enter the T-Handle.
At CK Maceworks, we built these with one goal in mind:
To challenge your strength, stability, and control in ways the floor never could.
In this short video, Nate breaks down exactly why T-Handle push ups are so brutally effective, how to use them safely, and what makes them such a fun challenge.
👇 Watch the full demo below:
🛠️ What Are T-Handles?
Our T-Handles are hand welded from steel pipe (the same as the handle on our maces and clubs), but attached to the bottom is a thin post that will be the contact point with the ground during pushups.
Simple design. But don’t let the simplicity fool you... these things are no joke.
💪 Why They’re Harder Than Floor Push-Ups
T-Handle push ups are harder because they create an unstable surface that forces your body to recruit more stabilizer muscles, especially through the:
-
Wrists, hands, and forearms
-
Shoulders and lats
-
Core
You’ll feel it after just one single rep.
It can be very humbling, especially if you’re already fatigued like at the end of a training session.
Plus, you get a greater range of motion compared to floor pushups, allowing for deeper reps and more strength building potential.
🧠 Pro Tips for Training with T-Handles
Nate drops a few tips in the video worth keeping in mind:
-
Start slow: These aren’t for speed reps. Focus on control.
-
Train on rubber mats: They offer some give and make it safer if you tip over or face plant.
-
Wider feet = more stability: If you're just starting out, spread your feet to balance better.
-
Add them to the end of your session for a brutal finisher.
You can also work toward loaded push ups or burpees over time. But start simple. Build control. Then push the limits.
