The lower U-shaped bars at ends near ground are great for push-up and dip variations. Elevating the upper body slightly with feet planted on the ground gives a nice method for scaling variations of push-ups and dips making it less challenging for all fitness levels. And perform more advance exercises like the Kick through with Push-up And Dip for a great upper body and core strength movement.
