If you are serious about calisthenics then you should be ready to train any time, any place, and that means at home.
A solid power tower is an essential piece of kit for anyone looking to build bulk, get ripped and add strength.

Opinions:
The first thing we look for in a power tower is sturdiness and the XMark does not disappoint. Being heavy works in its favour here and allows you to perform your reps without any interference from wobbling.
The possibility to add assisted dip / pull-up functionality makes this a real winner with beginners and experts alike.
