kmart has this cheaper than walmart..go figure..
i weigh in at 250lbs and would like to know if the weider power tower will be able to handle a big guy like me?
i of course hope to drop down to 215 in the next few months but i would really like to add some pullups/dips to my routine if possible.

Does the "200" mean 200 lb capacity?

Most power towers are capable of at least 300lbs.Originally Posted by wieywill

I have this tower. The user weight capacity is 300 lbs according to the manual. The tower is pretty stable. I am 5'8" and weigh 195 lbs. I started using this with a 25 lb weight vest and still feels pretty solid.
