If you have the Push Pull tower, . . .

can you do a pull up with straight legs if you are a shortie like me? I'm barely 5 feet. Or do you have to do them with legs criss crossed like I've seen Cathe do them in STS?

Tower Pull Ups

No, the Tower is not tall enough to do straight leg Pull Ups.

No you can't. I am only 5' and if I could do one, I would have to cross my legs like Cathe.

thanks! i was hoping that being 4' 11" would have some advantages. I still want one!!

Janie - I love my PP Tower! I really love that it goes together and breaks down so quickly since I don't have the space to keep it together! 2 minutes and it's up and down!

Janie - even though you can't do the straight legs, I'd recommend it. When you need to do heavy lifting for bench presses, it's a must. I haven't used it for a squat rack yet, but that has always been my plan. I'll find out in a couple weeks how it works! I'm only 5'0" myself. Looks like there are a lot of shrimps on the forum!

That is a good point, . . . about heavy bench presses.
Hey at least you can say you are 5'. I'm barely 5'. When I went to the Dr.'s a few months ago they checked and the nurse said , . . . "not quite!"
