Built myself a squat rack

AllInWithAces · 2020-10-22T15:56:15+00:00

Stress test the fuck out of that thing bro. Find the max weight you’ll lift, the max distance it can fall, and the weakest point of the bar. Then add like 50% to all those values to test it.

Not trying to demean your work - it looks great. But there are few things more dangerous than a big strong ass man using homemade equipment.

I’m pretty sure if you fall backwards while squatting 315, that whole cage is going to flip.

Excellent work, nothing like making something and finishing a project.

Ok-Manager9676 · 2020-10-22T15:22:42+00:00

Nice! What kind of wood did you use?

BobbingForBunions · 2020-10-22T16:38:41+00:00

Well done, OP.

You're built something that can pay you dividends for many years to come.

MikeRotch4756 · 2020-10-22T15:53:39+00:00

That is some amazing work!

Did you follow a plan?

--I_HATE_BANKS-- · 2020-10-22T16:37:42+00:00

nice work bro

Jsin345 · 2020-10-22T16:40:30+00:00

That’s pretty cool

thefudmaster · 2020-10-22T17:31:16+00:00

Beautiful

hottake_toothache · 2020-10-22T17:54:16+00:00

I'm jealous. That's dope.

FrozenCheekSlayer · 2020-10-22T18:06:38+00:00

That’s awesome bro! How long did it take?

ginje13 · 2020-10-22T18:14:08+00:00

Great job, but don’t lift to heavy because wood isn’t as strong as metal

silentmmgh · 2020-10-22T18:57:41+00:00

Looks good! Keep up the good work

MajIssuesCaptObvious · 2020-10-22T19:28:39+00:00

Nice! I thought about making one out of steel, but I like your idea better. I don't lift super heavy, so strong wood would do just fine.

Did you follow plans from the internet or just designed it yourself?

josper11 · 2020-10-22T19:54:21+00:00

Nice work man. now show us some pics of you using it¡

TraehNoil · 2020-10-23T02:37:47+00:00

Hell ya brother. I’m not skilled enough to build one but I ordered one and it’ll be here this week! Get them gains!

DeakinFrost · 2020-10-22T20:03:22+00:00

bruh is that wood?

be careful man, its also not bolted to the ground either

battle-obsessed · 2020-10-22T20:35:57+00:00

I'd like to know how much it cost you to make it (materials + time), and how that compares to buying one.

shainsaw300 · 2020-10-22T23:03:43+00:00

Clean!

wildmaggot · 2020-10-22T23:13:43+00:00

Garage or a room?

R_Hak · 2020-10-22T23:25:44+00:00

Full gym right there. Add a bench and you are done. You could easily integrate a cable there too with some smart positioning.

THEOPINIONPLACE · 2020-10-23T00:07:56+00:00

Where did you get those 4x4s

uhhh2iguess · 2020-10-23T00:58:48+00:00

Where did you learn to wood work?

FuryTheUnseen · 2020-10-23T01:08:09+00:00

That's dope! I just ordered my kettlebell.

immortal_coherence · 2020-10-23T02:17:43+00:00

Legit. Well done.

willie254 · 2020-10-23T06:49:51+00:00

Great job man

turtlewinstherace · 2020-10-23T06:55:15+00:00

This is sick OP.

pandamoanium33 · 2020-10-23T07:50:05+00:00

Fuck I'm so jealous broh. It looks so CLEAN!

TheCheerleader · 2020-10-23T11:04:01+00:00

Nice. Now get yourself that classic sign saying no curls in the squat rack and you're good to go!

TimeSlaved · 2020-10-23T12:38:20+00:00

...are you a BuffDudes fan? I recognize the similarities in the design haha

AceOfBlacks · 2020-10-23T16:55:38+00:00

Impessive and beautiful! As a student living in a pretty small apartment I envy you!

vivek6923sha · 2020-10-26T06:38:21+00:00

Building yourself is the only way, best wishes 🎉🎉
