Spring chest expander & arm trainer · 60–110 lbs
Free U.S. shipping · 30-day money-back guarantee
Squeeze up to 110 lbs of steel-spring resistance and feel your chest, shoulders and arms light up from the very first rep. It's an at-home chest workout you can finish in 10 minutes, with no weights, no gym and no excuses.
No studio, no special setup. Just the Crush, a few minutes and a chest that's working hard, at home, in the garage and outdoors.
You've done the push-ups. You've followed every at-home chest workout video. But in the mirror, and in a fitted T-shirt, your chest still doesn't look like the effort you're putting in.
It isn't a willpower problem. It's a tension problem. Once push-ups feel easy, more reps mostly make you tired. Your muscles need a heavier challenge to keep getting stronger.
That's what the Crush gives you. Its high-tensile steel spring pushes back from the first inch and fights harder the deeper you squeeze, so your chest works through the whole rep, not just the easy part.
The Crush is a chest expander, arm trainer and grip trainer in one. Change how you hold it and the same spring trains your arms, back and even your inner thighs.

Squeeze in front of you for the middle and inner chest. Angle it up or down to bring in the upper or lower chest.
Overhead and press-out holds load your shoulders and the backs of your arms.
Squeeze with your elbows bent and your biceps stay under tension for the whole set.
Every rep is a hard grip, so your hands and forearms get stronger along the way.
You can also squeeze it behind your back to bring in your upper back.
You can even squeeze it between your knees for an inner-thigh finisher.

Same trainer, same muscles. Each level is sold as its own trainer, so pick the one that matches you today. The Crush Bundle gives you all three.
Start here if you are new to strength training, coming back after time off, or want a tool you can rep out with.
For people who already train and want a squeeze that makes every rep count.
Our heaviest spring. For strong lifters who want slow, brutal reps and a serious pump.
Can't decide, or training with a partner? The Crush Bundle gets you all three, so you can move up as you get stronger.
A starter session using the same methods as the free guide: angles, slow reps, holds and pulses. Use a level you can control for every rep.
Two easy sets of 10 slow squeezes at chest height. Press together, then let the spring open under control.
One set of 10–12 squeezes angled high, one straight out and one low, for upper, middle and lower chest. Rest 30 seconds between sets.
Two sets of 8 reps, taking three seconds to squeeze and three to open. Slow reps make every inch count.
Squeeze and hold for 20 seconds, then do 10 short pulses at the squeezed position. Rest and repeat once.
The free Complete Workout Guide builds on this with full routines for each area, progressions and recovery tips.

Already doing push-ups? Keep them. The Crush adds the heavy resistance they can't.
All three levels, Blue, Gray and Red. Train progressively or share with a partner.
The Crush plus our PressFrame push-up board for a complete chest, shoulder and arm setup.

It gives your chest what push-ups run out of: heavy, steady resistance, from 60 to 110 lbs depending on the level you choose. You'll feel your chest working from the first set. Visible change comes from training consistently, progressing over time and eating to support it, so it takes weeks and varies from person to person.
Blue (60 lbs) if you're new to strength training or coming back after a break. Gray (90 lbs) if you already train regularly. Red (110 lbs) if you're strong and want slow, heavy reps. Each level is a separate trainer. If you're between two, the lighter one lets you do more controlled reps; the Crush Bundle gives you all three so you can move up.
No. Chest is the main target, but by changing your grip and position you can also train your shoulders, biceps, triceps, forearms, upper back and inner thighs. The free Complete Workout Guide shows you how.
Yes. Women and men use the same three levels, and Blue was made for starting out. Start with Blue (60 lbs), use slow, controlled reps and move up when the last reps of a set stop feeling hard.
A focused session can be as short as 10 minutes (there's a starter session on this page). A good starting point is a few sessions a week, building from there. The guide lays out routines, progressions and recovery tips.
Move slowly and with control, keep a firm grip, keep the trainer away from your face and don't let the spring snap back. Start with a resistance you can control for full reps. If you have an injury or a health condition, check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
It's about 25.6 to 26.8 inches (65 to 68 cm) long and about 7.1 inches (18 cm) wide. It fits under a bed, in a closet or in the car, so you can take it on trips.
