Power Stands
Your workouts at home don't have to be boring. Buy a home gym system and you will have everything you need in a single machine. The problem with home gyms is that they can take up a significant amount of space. Very few people, even if they have the space, want to fill a room with body building equipment. When your goal of building a home gym is to obtain a complete workout in the privacy of your own home, you don't have to buy large machines to reach the goal. Power stands are a great alternative to large machines because they enable you to perform both upper and body exercises and you can store them in a small space.
Power stands look simple enough, but with them you are able to perform a complete workout that is guaranteed to leave you anything but bored. With most home gym systems you can get a good upper and lower body workout, all by using the accompanying workout bench. With the power stand you are forced to provide more of your own resistance to perform the same exercises. For example, with the Phoenix PS403 Power Stand II you can work your arm muscles using the dip station. Everyone knows that the tricep dip is one of the most powerful exercises for the arm. Unless you have a home gym system especially designed with this feature, you won't be able to do a tricep dip with a home gym. The Phoenix PS403 also includes an ab crunch station.
The VKR Tower offers benefits similar to those of the Phoenix PS403 and costs around $120. While most power stands are designed for men, the VKR Tower is suitable for all weights and heights. In addition, the VKR Tower includes a significant amount of comfort features.
