I built my first wooden power rack in 1977-78 as an eighteen year old after seeing photos of powerlifting pioneer and 1956 Olympic lifting gold medalist Paul Anderson (1,160 lb squat at 340-365 body weight) in a homemade wooden 4”x4” power rack. I had good luck except for the relatively soft metal cross bars between the upright posts. Your design is so much better! Thanks for thinking it all out!

Thx for the link C , had to sell things , and soon moving out of country and i refused to let go of the dumbells , but i dont feel like rebuying or importing neither , good thing i know bit of carpenting so no issues in creating this , but i would add another plank in the mid of the bench just in case of a snap
Hey love the video it's awesome that you made it super easy with the diagram that you included with the dementions thank you for that. Can't wait to see your next videos
Honestly I'm not sure. The whole thing would be more sturdy with 2x6's. I haven't had a problem loading up 191.5 lbs for squats and I don't intend to go much higher. Kind of cutting rn & workouts are subpar bc I'm on Accutane and my joints are dry. Better than nothing though :)
The first week of quarantine i was looking for dyi fitness equipment... 3 weeks later, here they are! I only wish i had space. I'm limited to my balcony. What do you do when it rains or snows?
it snowed in this vid but it was still pretty warm. i may look into a cheap gazebo but tbh hope to be back in the gym by winter. for rain n snow, i guess just layers? idk i canoe a lot so im pretty comfortable with uncomfortable weather... hope this helps n good luck training
Great job!!! You could use braded vinyl tubing on your safety and j hooks to protect your bar's knurling. Just a question, what mold did you use on the second set of plates?
I sincerely apologize for the late response but I ended up buying a diaper bin from someone off Kijiji. Buckets seem to be standardized to 12in but the bin was 16 :)
Thanks for the sketch diagrams.. after viewing different diy videos in yt.. I m going to make similar to yours with minor corrections.. Plz tel your reviews and re-suggestions after using this rack for a while ..
hi! its been a while, did you end up making it? so far everythings working just fine. having adjustable safeties would be a good choice but i dont mind it as it is. definitely been a godsend
Hey good job here! Very nice! What is the size of your Olympic barrbell ? Because i'm planning to build a power rack a little larger for a 220cm Olympic barrbell 🤔

ahah I appreciate the support n you made me chuckle:)
figures the cat uses it as a scratching post. Nice setup. Great idea, keep working out consistency is the key. Pull ups at the end, nice.

Very psyched to try this. Do you have a guess as to how much weight the rack could take?

@@KrumKrumQuidditch Big up, Homie. Thanks for the insight. Better than nothing for sure. Healthy skin and joints inbound 👌.

In the even of rain or snow, you'll have to lift wearing swim goggles. In the event of hail, then wear safety glasses.

Good video I enjoyed that ! 😁
Amazing job, if you continue making gym equipment you could have a fully equipped gym. Keep going with dumbbells.
