The Buzz

Users weighing over 200 lbs report they can do dips and pull-ups and this stable Gold’s Gym unit doesn’t move when installed on a hard floor (not carpet). Other reviewers of the XR 10.9 Power Tower have boasted of doing inverted sit-ups while hanging from the knees on the pull-up bar. Another cool feature is the lower handles for pushups. This method lets you go lower than doing conventional pushups on the floor.

Every aspect of the Gold’s Gym XR 10.9 Power Tower is well designed, and fitness enthusiasts find that results are dramatic when you use it for bodyweight exercises. This can be your only piece of equipment, or, if you already have the basics for a gym – a bar and plates – you’ll experience bigger gains faster with a Power Tower. It is superior for anaerobic strength training, and is the perfect training tool for doing pull-ups, chin-ups, Captain’s Chairs, hanging leg lifts, and dips, etc., as well as weighted chins, pulls, and dips.

The XR 10.9 Power Tower is easy to assemble in less than an hour. As with any VKR/Dip stand, be sure you measure the ceiling clearance in your gym room before you install this machine.
