A power tower, also known as pull up and dip station, is a useful piece of exercise

equipment for those who want to do strength training at home. With the help of it,

you can do the most powerful bodyweight exercises to train almost each of your

muscles groups.

A power tower comes with a pull-up bar, two parallel dip bars and a few models have

a push station as well. In most of the cases, bodyweight workouts are enough to build

strong and massive muscles, but if your own weight is not enough, you can use a

weighted vest or a belt with weights to add extra resistance to the moves.

exercises.
