Bar push-up = barbell bench press?

Bar push-ups with an outdoor setup I've been doing a lot of bar push-ups lately. Standard, decline, high decline, incline, with narrow grip, with shoulder width grip etc. Here are few reasons to add it to your routine: Easier on the wrists. You can keep your wrists straight.  Tactile feedback from the bar ensures proper depth on each repetition. Forearms can be perpendicular to the ground. On the standard pushup the elbows are pointing slightly backwards unless your wrists form a 90 degree angle which is not anatomically possible for almost anyone. You can lift the bar high enough to do full range of motion decline push-ups without your head getting in the way. I like to touch the upper chest with the bar when doing the decline push-up. Just like with the barbell incline bench press. For me it just feels more stable and I'm able to train hard. Mimics the barbell bench press quite well. My numbers on the barbell bench press and bar push-up seem to be quite close to each other. S
