Patent Pending Pull Up Tower


Many years ago many of you suggested on our forums that it would be nice if someone could invent a platform to put on a single set of risers so you could do step ups or use it as a stool to do exercises like concentration curls. We listened to you and came up with the idea for the High Step. Unfortunately, when we first introduced the idea to the Step Company for the High Step we were told they were not interested. Undeterred, we made our own High Steps by cutting of the ends of a step and gluing them together on a single riser. We then used our homemade High Steps in one of our videos even though we knew nobody had the product (sounds familiar doesn’t it) and The Step Company had told us they were not interested in making it. As soon as pictures of our new video with the homemade High Steps hit the web The Step Company was inundated with so many phone calls requesting the product they couldn’t conduct their normal business. The product manager from Escalade Sports which purchased the Step Company heard about this and it wasn’t long before the High Step went into production and became available to the public.
The same person, John, who was our product manager at Escalade Sports is now the product manager for Fitness by Cathe. We have many exciting new and innovative products and accessories we’re are currently working on and hope to share with you soon. What is truly nice is you now have a direct line through us where you can communicate your equipment wishes and desires and eventually have many of them turned into reality.
The Patent Pending Push Pull Tower was an idea that we came up with after listening to you on our forums and own experiences in our health club and in video rehearsals. The number one thing we wanted to accomplish with The Patent Pending Push Pull Tower was to solve a problem most people have with Pull Ups … and that is they simply can’t do them! Pull Ups are probably the best back exercise you can do, but if you can’t even do one you’re not likely to even attempt to do them and you certainly will not continue to do them. The Patent Pending Push Pull Tower solves this problem.
Your ability to do a Pull Up depends on two things, your strength and your body weight. A Pull Up is many times harder for a person weighing 300 lbs than it is for a person who only weighs 110 lbs. With The Patent Pending Push Pull Tower we reduce your bodyweight by putting you in a supine position with your feet on the floor. Lift one foot off the ground and the exercise becomes a little harder or do as Cathe does in some of the pictures and lift both feet off the ground doing a vertical Pull Up for the ultimate challenge.
We plan on developing other affordable products to help you do a Pull Up as time goes on. In the same way that we used our videos to push the development of the High Step, we hope STS leads to the development of new products to help anyone who wants to do a Pull Up be successful. Some of these products will be developed by us while others will be developed by entrepreneurs that we don’t even know.
