Power Towers And Building Muscle

If you are looking to build muscle, the use of a power tower can help you with this fitness goal. As you work out using a power tower, you will be using it to make your muscles bulkier as well as stronger.

Aside from the core, which will be strengthened using the movements done on power towers, your arms, legs and back muscles also stand to benefit from the workout. This is why it is said that if you are looking for a great way to get a whole-body exercise done, you can maximize your time and effort by getting multiple muscle groups worked out when you use a power tower.

Dips

Dips are done by using the two poles or platforms on the upper part of a power tower. First, use the steps on the power tower to get into position and reach the upper part of the machine. Nex, grip the platform with your hands, finding a comfortable position for your arms. Then step off the foothold and let your arms and hands support the weight of your body. Then bend your elbows while maintaining your balance while keeping your core engaged. That will complete one rep. If you are a beginner try to perform at least five repetitions without stopping.

Leg Raises

Start by standing on the footholds with your back to the machine. Leg raises will have you use your elbows to support your weight. Make sure you have a firm grip on the handles of the machine before you start. When you lift your legs for the raises, you have to make sure that your back and core are engaged and ready for the lift. You may opt to lift your legs while they are straight or bent. 

Pull-ups

Pull-ups are a great workout for the upper body. Your arms and chest will bear most of the weight as you perform this exercise. Grip the upper bar of the machine, making sure that your palms are not sweaty so you can get a firm grip. Then use your upper-body strength to pull up your body weight until your chin will reach the level of the bar.
