BESCHRIJVING

A unique, extra-high pull-up station allows for perfect pull-up execution (dead hang: fully extended, meeting military inspection requirements). This Power Tower trains your back, arms (triceps and biceps), chest, and abdominal muscles. It supports up to 120 kg (264 lbs).

Old-school training is all the rage right now: pushing yourself to the limit with bodyweight workouts. And rightly so: many of those pointless machines that fill gyms these days are fine for rehabilitation, but they won't make you truly strong and fit. With the incredibly solid, extra-tall Gorilla Sports Power Tower Red, you're a jack of all trades. This power station lets you subject your entire upper body to a brutal workout!

More and more athletes are moving away from the "luxury" of machine workouts where you can casually chat while "training." Tests show that after years of gym training, most fitness enthusiasts can't even climb over a wall. Take a look at any gym, and you'll see that the pull-up bar area is almost always empty. Why? Many of these "powerhouses" simply aren't strong enough to crank out a decent set of pull-ups, dips, or push-ups! Satisfied, they leave the gym after an hour of "pumping," mistakenly believing they've just done some serious strength training.

• With a slope angle of 10%
• Dimensions: (LxDxH): 85 x 135 x 235 cm

Real strength: true functional strength

For true, functional strength —also called "real strength" by athletes—you need to get back to basics. That's why more and more top athletes are choosing effective bodyweight training methods, exercises that have formed the foundation of training routines for boxers and gymnasts for decades.

Back, arms and shoulders

This Power Tower is for the true die-hards who want to train frequently and push themselves to the limit. This Power Tower can hold up to 120 kg! Moreover , its 235 cm height makes it unique : it towers over almost all other power stations. This height also makes it possible for taller men and women (of which we have many in the Netherlands!) to perform dead hang pull-ups. So you don't have to bend over halfway to crank out a good set of pull-ups!

Using the pull-up handles at the top of the tower, you can train your upper body with chin-ups and pull-ups . This exercise shapes and strengthens the muscles in your back, arms (biceps), and shoulders. The pull-up is considered by fitness experts worldwide to be the most important of all upper-body training exercises. It's no wonder it's included in the fitness tests of every self-respecting (elite) military unit.

The Power Tower Red offers three different pull-up positions : narrow grip, wide grip, and neutral grip. This allows you to add variety to your daily workout and continue to challenge your muscles. By doing pull-ups, you'll build strength and muscle in no time. With perseverance, the coveted V-shape will truly become achievable.

Chest

The most "old-school" way to train your pecs is, of course, push-ups. The Power Tower is equipped with push-up supports for extra-deep push-ups. However, for more dedicated fitness enthusiasts who want to target their chest more effectively and build muscle mass, push-ups are too light and too focused on endurance (which many "big guys" don't care about). The exercise that targets your chest and triceps without relying on weights is dips . Bodybuilders have sworn by this exercise for years, and dips are a staple in every professional boxer 's training regimen.

Dips engage the pectoralis major (chest muscle), the anterior deltoid (front of the shoulders), and the triceps (the largest muscle group in the upper arm). The more you lean forward during the dip, the more the emphasis shifts to the pecs. If you lean back more, the triceps do most of the work.

Abdominal muscles

With the power station, you can perform not only pull-ups and dips, but also leg raises. This exercise trains both the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis and obliques) and the hip flexors. The exercise becomes particularly challenging when performed with straight legs. A relatively small number of repetitions (6-12) already produces good results: that's why leg raises are much more effective than, for example, crunches or sit-ups, which focus more on endurance than on visible muscle growth.
