The Bayou Fitness Total Trainer would not be the fabulous engines of fitness enhancement that it is if not for the Pull-up/Push-up Bar. Of all the attachments that come with this body redefining equipment, this one is perhaps the most integral thanks to the availability of upper body and back work it supplies. This bar can be attached to the top or bottom of your Total Trainer depending on the muscle group being worked.
Pull-ups and chin-ups are completed with the bar locked into place at the top of the machine; using it at this location would denote the “Pull-up” portion of this bar’s title. You can perform these exercises while the stomach or back is resting on the glide board. Triceps, biceps and delts will be whipped into shape when you break out this attachment for performance of these exercises. The resistance levels can be adjusted between any of the 1 to 12 degrees of difficulty when you want a little added challenge to your pull-ups and chin-ups. This lets you pull yourself up and down against poundage well north of your own body weight, making the pull-up bar an even more valuable commodity for the acquisition of broader, shapelier, and more fit shoulders.
Its precise purpose is to grant users a stark improvement in upper body tone; those who put it to the test are not going to come away disappointed. Advancing in this direction is made infinitely less of a chore by the curvature of the bar’s handles that make for an easy to hold surface. This shape is designed to go easy on wrists, allowing a comfortable grip to be maintained while you work out.
Push-ups can be churned out on the Total Trainer at an angle you find comfortable. While doing these, the handlebars are attached at the bottom of the equipment where the squat board would be found during the performance of lower body work. The glide board can be adjusted to the angle you deem fit, and your feet will rest on it while hands grasp the Push-up/Pull-up Bar. They will firmly grip it in much the same manner you would grasp bicycle bars, acting to hold your body up while you go through the proper push-up motions.
The attachment can now be correctly referred to as a “Push-up Bar” while in this position, and a firmer chest will emerge on account of its repeated utilization. Added definition and strengthened chest muscles make this well crafted bar an excellent investment; the fruits you reap from your effective Total Trainer push-up routine will not go unnoticed. Pecs will receive some of the best available work on the market, leading to an undeniable change for the better. Come to think of it, what better workout to do on this machine than push-ups: the premier, time tested body resistance exercise with a usefulness that is universally recognized.
