can the press up bars be used to hook your feet to perform sit ups?

If you set your platform to 1, then conceivable you could hook your feet under to do sit ups but, it'd be the same as doing them on the floor.

Robert I didn't think so so I tried to figure out a way to do sit ups with the press up bars, the short answer is no.Rod

Yes, Stud Bar has videos on their website showing large bars wall mounted for those who kip or need more leg room. For dead hang pull ups the standard size wall mounted works best and takes up less space

Yes. The higher handles are easier to use if you have limited hip flexibility. The lower handles offer a greater range of motion. Great bar!

Yes, they do. I do handstands at my gym as well, and use them to help support my wrists, and they work great!

Actually yes it can, but for a different purpose. If you put it under your desk and press with your heels then it gives a pretty good glute-specific workout (similar to kick-backs), however it does not provide cardio exercise like it would if you were standing up. I alternate between using it sitting down and standing up at work.

HI Jessica,I would say (but I am no expert in the construction and ancillary uses of this machine) that the unit could facilitate the hang-up boots, but I would NOT recommend them being used. Why would u want to use them on this machine? Seems like a duplication of effort and more work than necessary to relieving back pain.

Technically you can it for that the machine is high enough , I have never tried doing that only regular dips and weighted dips. But also you would have to rotate your hands since there is no direct straight bar like normal. I would advise being careful of you do try them

You can definitely still do pushups with the wraps on. The wraps just give extra support, they really don't impact your range of motion at all.

No not excatlly. This isnt for doing pull ups on. Dips an handstands can be done on thses

You might be able to depending on your torso length but I am going to say probably not. It would definitely be uncomfortable. Great for push-up, pull-ups, lunges, and etc.

You could, but not very easily. You'd have to have the safety bars up really high and move the stands into position, and the safety bars are not round, but flat, so it would not be comfortable on the hands. I would probably find a kitchen counter with a corner to do chest dips before I'd mess around with this unit.

If you mean to hang from the bars by your knees for the abdominals, I wouldn't recommend it. I have tried the L pullups and it works. I find the dip stand very stable--I'm 6'1" and 215#

It would work for the arm and shoulder exercises. The length of the bar is rather long, so there could only be a few inches of clearance between the floor and the end of the bar.

I would not recommend that but if you want to sit up high and do ab work get a inflatable ball.Works well and comes with a Video.

Yes you can, they are seperate so you can move them although most use the standard 7' barbell. The feet shouldn't get in your way. Still using them and like them so far.

Why wouldn't they be? I think they're safer than not using hooks at all. You don't have to kick the dumbbells up with your knees over your body just to get your bench press started. They're already up there. There's less chance of injuring your shoulders or your elbows. I share mine with other guys every week using different weights. I've never seen or heard any comments one way or the other. We usually alternate, using the barbells one day and the dumbbells the next time.

No, because they have machine threads. However, you may be able to use a tee nut furniture insert. Or, you could bolt through angles and bolt the angle to the leg. Hope this helps
