question about additional usage of the tower

[krassymira]

SNM, are there other exercises that can be performed with the tower, or is it used strictly for pull ups? I am asking because I came accross a product which attaches to the door and is used for pull ups, so I've been wondering if I should get that instead of the tower which has not yet been released. But then I also remembered that I think I saw in some of the You Tube clips that Cathe is using it as a weight rack when she is doing chest press lying on the step - or am I wrong?

STS Power Tower

The STS Power Tower has two main purposes. #1 Pull Ups and #2 Rack for Bench Presses.

Yeah, I thought so...
Thank you very much for the quick response!

It would have been cooler if there was a third use as a squat rack.

Hi Sass! We certainly would have loved to do that but in doing so the unit would have needed to be much bigger, bulkier and heavier, as well as a permanent standing fixure in the home ....not to mention what it would cost to ship a unit this large and heavy . While it is not uncommon to see a workout room in a home these days, we realize that it is still a long shot away from being considered the majority. We, therefore, have designed the STS Power Tower to be a very sturdy fitness piece while still offering the ability to easily pull out or put it away when needed. In fact, it easily folds down and slides right under your bed.

Either way Cathe I'm getting it.

OT: Cathe talked to me directly!

I can think of a third way to use the tower. As a ballet or stretching barr.

Why not?
