5 Affordable Power Towers For a Killer Workout

March 10, 2010No Comments

There are a lot of exercise gadgets that you can buy to get fit. Most exercise gadgets help you with one or a few parts of your body. So unless you invest thousands of dollars in a complete home gym, you are going to need multiple exercise units to get all parts of your body worked out. Power Towers are great for shoulders, delts, and triceps. Essentially, dip stands (power stands) are made for folks who want to work specifically on their upper body. If you are trying to build a balanced body, you can’t just focus on your abs, legs, and lower body. You are going to need a balanced exercise plan, and power stands give you that chance.

If you are looking for an affordable power stand to help you build super hard shoulders, you have got to try these 5 cool dip stands:

Weider 200 Power Tower

Weider 290 Power Tower: a great gadget to get upper and lower body strength training without using weights. It’s 4 gadgets in one. It is a vertical knee raise station, pull-up station, push-up station, and dip station. The gadget is solid and can give you a heck of a workout.

Phoenix 99403 Power Stand II

Phoenix 99403 Power Stand II: another great power stand to do pull-ups/chin-ups, push-ups, sit-ups, dips, and more. It lets you get a good workout in using your own weight instead of actually having to buy more weight with other home gym solutions.
