A pushup handle inspired by not having pushup handles.

The handle size is based upon the width of my palms, which are about 4 inches wide at their broadest point. With the round brackets on each end of the top bar, it gives me approximately 3.5 inches of gripping space, which fits my hand but could use a little more clearance.

If you have large hands, definitely scale it up a bit.

I need to finish printing the second handle before making adjustments, but testing against just one handle, I'm confident they will hold my weight and are just barely wide enough for my hands.

Additional notes:

• Print the handle portion with supports enabled.

Update 1:
I tested a pair of these this morning and found that they dig into my hands at the point where the upper ring that connects to the base. I am going to alter the design of the top handle portion so that it's smooth. I don't really recommend printing the current version unless you have small enough hands that you're confident they won't overlap with the raised part of the upper handle.

Update 2:
I've revised and uploaded a revision of the circular handle so that it's one large cylinder with notches just on the bottom side to correct the issue of the upper ring digging into the hands (handle-smoothtop) . I'm in the process of testing it and will upload an image once I've printed a pair of the new handles.

Caveat: The revised handles are about a half inch thicker because I didn't change the overall diameter of the point where the handle and base attach, which means the cylinder on the new handle is about 2 inches in diameter.

Update 3:
The revised handle works well (handle-smoothtop.stl). I'll be evaluating it over the next few days to decide if I want to make more modifications.

After printing both pieces, remove supports and sand them until relatively smooth. The handle should fit onto the base with a pressure fit by pressing the groove onto the raised portion of the base (no glue was required on mine).
