- Never mind what I said about the WD40. It actually works better than the grease for this nylon type pulley. The lithium grease is too damn hard to get in the places where it needs to. Lesson learned.

Anyone else appreciate how the rug really ties the room together?
and you thought I just built stuff huh? I like your style. Funny.
we're talking about unchecked aggression here dude
Safety first!! Thank you for your ideas, I liked how you put all those security considerations. Best video I've seen so far for home pulleys
Exactly what I've been looking for: a low AND high pulley row setup. Ingeniously done! Thanks very much.
The best part of this is, no waiting for someone to finish their workout its all yours . Thank you for this video my friend .
Almost 2 am here in Texas. During this lockdown April 27,2020. Thanks for sharing your ideas. This is something I wanted to do I’m glad my friend was doing some diy stuff today. Then I got home and started taking to my dad and now I’m here. I’m excited for tomorrow to Build something. God bless y’all sir thanks 🙏🏽 take care.
I think I enjoy building stuff more than actually using it. :)
Great idea. Sincerely, thank you for the inspiration to build this, it will work great for my family. I really appreciate the methodical explanations and such, while I do have the understanding of the physics behind these machines (pulleys, levers, etc), some people don't have that, and you give them the confidence that they can now do it. PS, I find the rug does bring the room together too!
Thank you for the ideas brother. Built my power rack based on Buff Dudes design. Took your advice on cable system. I added 2 pulley systems so I can hit chest and add more weight. Even convenient so my wife can do a low row and I can hit triceps. You're right the weight dont swing much and is a wonderful design brother. Thank you very much for your creativity and sharing. Could be wrong but when I am, I'm right. I smell the glory on you brother. Hooah!
My rack was inspired by Buff Dudes as well. Thanks for the inspirational comment!
This is so much better than garage gym reviews video on this. Much more thought through and adaptable.
Did they do a review of my build?
@@kurtheitman552 No but they posted a similar but inferior video a couple months back. th-cam.com/video/up1-7i8OVDM/w-d-xo.html
going to be building a simple multi use system with 2 weight stacks so I can to each arm separately. I am going to be using a system where I build 2 box's and instead of metal weights ( which are my first choice but since I am broke cannot afford them) an load the box's with bricks. I will be also setting it up with multiple hooking points (high and low as well as waist high) for even more options.
Wow! I’ll have to show your video to the local stores here in Sweden to see where I could find the material you used. Thanks for sharing.
Great video! Thank you for sharing. Only thing that caught my eye was the weight rack made from threaded pipe (around 2:24), which is clever, and I think the connection between the cap and pipe may be the weak link in the set up. Doesn't look like you're able to get more than 2-3 complete turns on it. And the more threads meshed together, the more shear strength the connection will have. With only 2-3 threads meshed, I'd fear the connection will strip and pull apart under a heavy load. Maybe someone with a structural engineering background can opine on this. Otherwise, great setup. Appreciate the attention to detail like the angled footboard for rowing. Cheers.
You're a real enthusiast and a handyman, you're doing well bud. Keep up the good work. Let them haters keep hating!
You are a sweetheart! Thanks Kayann. I really couldn't give a rats butt what the "thumbs down" crowd thinks. In my opinion, they are just miserable losers. Fortunately, the majority of people who come to my channel are emotionally mature and don't live in mommy's basement.
Kurt, ignore the haters, your set up is the best. I feel like you'd make a great second cousin, ya know what I mean?
Thanks for sharing. This is about one of the best DIY cable systems I have seen. Mostly because of the slides/socks combo!
All jokes aside, fantastic job.
yeah, kind of like those Nick Faldo golf shoes that take 5 stroke off of your game. They help you lift more weight!
Dude that’s freaking smart I like your input you added to this I need to do the same to my power rack
I used larger pulleys with coated wire and clamp just like you did. Pull on a thick rope. Amazed at the low cost.
just did this in my garage today ,so happy with the result,its easy and cheap
Great job. I really like your pulley system. For a safer and more secure use of cable wire clips, remember to "never saddle a dead horse".
yeah, already got schooled on that one! Thanks.
What does that mean?
Well thought out and explained. Looks good. Pool noodles r something that's super great idea and super cheap. Nicely done.
Thank you my friend for the cable system made almost the exact same thing except I made a special bench for the lower pulley
That's an excellent idea. I'm planning on building something like this soon.
Great job with a clean design, nicely done! I work in the helicopter rescue environment. If I may, I'd like to respectfully recommend a safety change you might consider.
At about 3:03 in the video, you discuss cable clamps and use (3), good deal. There's not much short-end cable left "sticking out." So, an extra length of cable above the knot is called an "ear," and provides a bit of insurance should the cable begin to slip through the clamps. It'll also allow you to check for slippage. Not a criticism yet a technique which may improve your safety margins. Thanks for the video, I'm a fan.
Again, great job. I'm a fan!
Your critique is valid and appreciated. Easy to tell you are a classy person.
Kurt great job and video! Love the pulley system going to try building it and rack👍
Really well done my friend. I just like to build something similiar to that for my Wooden Power rack! Thanks for sharing, even it is from 2016. 👍
That's a great system.
I'm actually surprised how little that weight moves while using it.
Love this cable system! I’m adding this design to my power rack.
Hey Kurt you’re a really good designer , very good job thanks for shering👍👍
Excellent job with home made work out machine and quality video!
Good video, I like the design and will build something similar now, cheers.
Hey Kurt, nice work and great design. You remind me of my uncle..."Don't go cheap and build it as though you were gonna put a tank on it" (mind set) I like it. Good job man.

I second that, nice setup.
Thanks for the awesome Video! Ive jsut finished my own cable machine and it works like a charm!
wow complete video, amazing, you are a genius my friend
I'm getting some ideas for my hack, and found this video. That's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
mate - fantastic setup. will definitely have to 'borrow' some of these ideas
Please, borrow away.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate you making this.
Love your set up Keith
This is really cool. Great job. Thanks for sharing this!
Love it. This is exactly what I needed!
man that's awesome thanks for posting this video!
amaazing sir... and the best part of that was ur wife helping u in making the video..
nope, that's my kid. :)
just fell onto your channel. I just recently got into building home gyms, i don't know jack shit about shop hahaha your channel inspires me to learn. That be so awesome to build like you do. I'll be sure to check out more videos of yours i just watched like 3 straight!
Hey Matt, I failed High School shop! LOL. Mostly because the teacher caught me taking an orbital sander to a kid's book. Seriously, you can learn so much on TH-cam. All I do is look at other people's stuff and then put my own twist on it. There are many wood working people out there who put my techniques to shame. Good luck. Kurt
You're good shit, Kurt. I knew I was in for a good video right out the gate.
Thanks, appreciate your comment!
This is freaking awesome!
This is incredible. Thank You!!
Awesome work!
Damn pretty slick video my man! Nice work
Very nice job Kurt. Thank you!
Thank you!
you can also do standing bicep curls
Outstanding! I would love to replicate this!
I like your 4X4 power rack! Very nice! Smart ideas!
Thanks! 👍
perfect for corona season
Very Nice quality work. no need for cable, use quality rope,helped convert some kit in a few gyms in uk to rope, not one failure yet, when idiots slam the crossover plates cables get trashed, rope no problems. Enjoyed you vid👍
Ahhh ... good idea with the pool noodle. I haven't seen small ones like that but I'll keep looking
WoW! Great idea to use Pullis from my old totalgym 💡👍 Thank you for the Video? Greetings from Germany.
Thanks Marc! I have been to Germany several times. Such a beautiful country. Germans are the best! I am one too!
This is great, thanks for sharing.
Who knew how valuable this would be in 2020 haha
This is really great
Nice work
Very good work I like it
Nice my man! NICE! Very helpful in early 2021. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
He was prepared for the quarantine gym close down 😭
He was born for it
Nope, in another comment he says he sold it 2 years ago.
Yes. We finished our basement and the whole thing went to the cable guy. Glad he took it and hope he still uses it.
nice work
good job
Thanks Wilfred.
Love your system ...nice work
Thank you!
friccin legendairy
Excelente idea!
U did a nce job
Nice job!
pretty cool
Rope designed pulleys might be why I'm having issues with my cable pull. Started with a home depot pulley and like you said, it's junk. The pulley didn't have any type of roller bearing ... and it chewed up the retention pin after maybe 30 reps @ 50#. Not to mention it got hot enough I couldn't touch it. Cheap climbing pulley from amazon is slightly better - claims it has a ball bearing but IDK on that front. It's still heating up even after coating the cable with bar soap. Planning to try a better lube, but if that doesn't work, sounds like I'll need an actual cable pulley. I'm using 1/8" coated cable from HD. Prior to applying the soap, the rubber coating was getting chewed up - I assume that's from binding.
GREAT stuff!
Awesome Sr. Genuis
Really really nice
Can you give a complete part list for the cable system? I’d like to add this to the rack I’m building l. Thank you in advance
Great idea!
great job
Nice one 👍💪🏻
If you wanna help stop the weight from swaying back and forth try hooping a lightweight band underneath the plate and tieing it off around the bottom beam.
Thats Awesome!
Qué chévere. Buena estructura. Yo necesito conseguir unas poleas asi
Thanks for sharing, sir.
You are very welcome
Beautiful!!
awesome man 👌
he speak much wisdom
well done
great vid thanks for d info
Thanks Mathieu!
Looks like a great low cost solution. Now I just need to figure out how to create a seat which holds my legs down. I just like the security I'm being held down by leg pads.
What about using the safety bar (or some adaptation) with a noodle pad? I know what you mean, those seats on the gym pull downs are wonderful.
Nice 😎 video 🎥
Very cool!
Two big safety issues I noticed were that when you use coated cable, you should remove the plastic coating at the end where the cable clamps attach. The other safety issue is "never saddle a dead horse". The u-bolt should go on the dead end (end not attached to the load}. This will crimp the cable and prevent it from pulling through.
Thanks wingznut1! Justin Roberts already educated me on the dead horse issue. Stripping the coating makes sense and I will do that as well. Do you have a similar setup?
Kurt Heitman really appreciate how you emphasize safety and that you are open to looking into suggestions. nice relief from your average Joe acting like they know everything. safety is no joke.
Thanks Sir Lawrence. I don't want anything smacking me in the face. Safety is the enemy of stupidity.
Brilliant
thanks for the vid
Great video wow !
thank you
Thanks!
Brilliant work! Can anyone provide me with somekind of blueprint?
Awesome!
Great job well done
Thank you!
I agree having more of those things at the end of the cable for safety. No reason to cheap out when you're saving so much money doing it yourself. Safety all the way at that point.
Them things I use only one on my atv winch that has a 2500lb pull and it works fine I don't think you're going to be lifting that kinda wight
Will those cast bolts be good for a metal power rack?
