Push-ups may be a workout staple, but even the most elementary concepts have room for improvement. While simple and convenient, push-ups also bend and compress the wrist, increasing fatigue and the risk of injury. Quirky's Sockets solve this problem definitively: based on the ball and socket system used in human joints, they were designed as a natural extension of the human body, adjusting to the changing angles of a push-up for more fluid movement. This fluidity also keeps the user's hands off-balance, providing a great core workout as well. As an added feature, each base features two reversible sockets, allowing the user to adjust friction at will.
