Phoenix 99403 Power Stand II


... The unit is broken down into bottom, middle, and tops sections so that everything could be put into a shipping box. Since you bolt pieces together, things get a little wobbly. It is a problem with all these types of gyms. Mine was more wobbly in the top section than acceptable. If you have access to a welding machine like i do, you can spot weld the joints and the frame becomes rock solid. I can still unbolt mine into left/right halves for moving if i have to. I welded the dip and pull up bars too. When the frame is stabilized like this, you can do serious workouts. By a margin, this is the best designed personal gym. In addition to the obvious exercises, i can do calf-raises, hanging knee raises. handstand pushups, more. All exercises are accessible from the front so you can put it in a room corner. This is not a commercial product, but the thickness of metal used is good enough for personal use. For the money this IS the "poor mans" gym!
