Can you do dips for the lower pecs on this?

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.

They would not be stable enough to sustain your body weight and possible hurting yourself, with the proper bench you can work the lower pecs by performing a decline press. The towers are good for your standard military press, bench press ( either decline, flat and incline), and power squats.

I actually do dips using mine. Just set my Olympic bar across the stand and do my dips over the bar. I have had no issues regarding it. I am a lighter individual so if you may have a different experience depending on your height/weight.

You'll see in a couple of reviews that they claim it wobbles. They just didn't put it together correctly. If it wobbles you must loosen the bolts, get it level, stand on the legs, and tighten the bolts again. If your floor is level and you tighten the bolts properly then this unit is rock solid. Now if you're asking if it gives when doing dips then the answer is no it does not. There is no movement when using this dip station.

You can do some shallow crunches while inverted, but the table is so well balanced that it will probably right itself if you bend too far up.

I have 25's and 10'S AND 5'S.YOU COULD PUT 45s but I use those for my bunch.chest and legs.it would be higher if you put 45's on the machine.it's a very intense machine,I could probably do 10 WITH 45'S.AND I'M LOOKING FOR More reps.

Yes. I combine exercises. I put my weight on the floor an arm's length away. While in the down position, I keep my arms straight and lift the weight above my chest. I then do several presses, after which I do a sit-up while still hiding the weight close to my chest. Alternatively, I do the sit-up first and then press the weight when I am in the top position. Finally, in half sit-up position I shift the weight from side to side (dumbbell or kettle bell). Pure torture. Note that there is no rack on which to rest the weight, as with a bench.

Yes you can. As a matter of fact, the lower the fat content, the more dense and long lasting the foam.

The handles are designed to provide stability (which it does) while performing back raises. However, it is not sturdy enough to perform dips, and is not designed for you to perform this function.

Squats with the bottom end attached while leaning back a bit one leg at a time if you like & control the weight with the handles. You can do it the other way around to holding onto the handles while lifting your head up to get your bottom abs which works wonders! I have not used the total gym in years, but these are my favorite to do.

Yes, if you bend knee and slip it under your foot, you can buff the bottom of your foot.

you can do almost anything, provided that you have strong balance and control skills... Since the power dip station hangs from a chin bar and only rests on the door frame, you would need to adapt (removable) straps to secure the station while doing rows, to prevent it from moving to the sides and backwards... Good luck

YES, it's like a hi-rep bench press. If less pec is your goal, then concentrate on the closer grip positions. Good luck! Ed P.S. Or don't go as deep on each rep -- use "rapid partials" for tris and delts.

Of course you can - get a wedge pillow (like used to elevate your legs) and place the Core pillow on it.

If I'm understanding what renegade push ups are, then yes. You could use them for those. The edges of the Dumbbells are a mild hexagon shape so they'd be flat enough on the edges to do those.

Im 5'11 i just bottom out. It really depends on your dips. I can stop an inch or two before hitting the floor and consider it a good dip.

I am not sure what a reverse crunch is. You can Google exercises that can be done with this bench but keep in mind that the length of the bench is much less than a gym sized ab bench so you are somewhat limited in what you can use it for.

Yes...excellent inversion table, can also lock into several degrees. You can also do inverted sit ups...

My boyfriend is the one that is using it. He is 6 foot and does weighted dips but has to wrap the belt around twice to keep the weight at his knee level.
