Cabled workout tower

Abstract

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a cabled workout tower (CWT). In an illustrative example, the CWT includes a platform including a proximal base supporting opposing vertical supports extending along a longitudinal axis to a distal affixed pullup module. The CWT includes a weight platform including weight stacks housed. The CWT includes a pulley guided cable system operatively connected to cables with pulleys, including a distal weight platform pulley operatively coupled to a double pulley device. An upper pulley portion operatively couples to a distal base platform pulley and a proximal pull handle by an upper cable. A lower pulley portion operatively couples to an anchored weight proximal pulley anchored to a proximal base platform pulley coupled to a proximal pull handle. Various embodiments may advantageously enable users to perform hanging exercises from the pull up bar and weighted abdominal exercises by engaging the proximal pull handle.
