A pull
up station is a very important piece of weight lifting
equipment. Some people may call this piece of weightlifting equipment a
pull up tower or chin up machine. No matter what you use, you need to
have a station in your home gym to do Pull Ups and Chin Ups.
You don't have to have a pull up
station like the one shown in the image. If you have a power
rack in your home gym, you may already have a pull up bar
available - and you may even have a dip station.
Most Pull Up Towers will come with dip bars, push up bars, and an
abdominal leg raise machine. The one shown to the left comes with all
of those options.
If you don't have a chin up machine or dip station, a pull up tower is
a great investment for your home gym.
Pull Ups, Chin Ups, and Dips are
3 of the best upper body exercises you will find!
If you haven't been doing different variations of Pull Ups and Chin
Ups, you're really missing out on your total body development. For
example, wide grip chin ups with your palms facing away really build
your upper back width. Your waist will look smaller the bigger you
build your back. A small waist and a big upper back looks great.
Pull Ups with your palms facing you really work your biceps hard. If
you are trying to build your biceps for huge arms, you definitely want
to include Pull Ups with palms facing you as your back width exercise in your weightlifting program.
Pull Ups are a Measure of Strength
Pull Ups are one of the most known weight lifting exercises on the
planet. Strength is measured by many different groups of people by the
number of Pull Ups you can do. For example, many different police
academies measure strength by the number of pull ups or chin ups you
can perform.
Many militaries throughout the world also use Pull Ups and Chin Ups as
a measure of strength.
Being able to do Pull Ups is a huge
accomplishment that the majority of people throughout the world cannot
do! If you live in the USA, most people around you wouldn't even think
of doing a Pull Up because obesity is running rampant.
Before long, you'll be able to add weight around your waist and perform
Pull Ups with heavy weights. For example, I currently add around 90
pounds to my already 230 pound body weight and knock out several reps.
You'll be able to do the same on your weight lifting program.
