Free Standing Pull Up Bars & Pull Up Stations


A pull up tower is a versatile workout setup that can be placed anywhere that you happen have an open 5 x 5 foot square space and good overhead clearance. Pull up stations like the Stamina 1690 Power Tower are great because you get a completely secure multi-function workout without drilling or screwing anything into walls or joists. The stand alone pull up bar’s frame itself provides the grounded stability for the exercises.

Additionally, most of these pull up towers provide you the ability to do powerful dips. This isn’t really feasible with the other styles of pull up bars (even though some of the portable leverage type bars advertise the dip function, you can’t get very far down before your butt hits the ground). This type of multi-functional pull up dip station enables you to dip as low as you like in order to to work the chest and triceps. The padded horizontal dip bars often function well in allowing abdominal work like knee and leg raises.
