I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the ru-vid.comUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B
Definitely one of best racks built so far I seen since quarantine started.. definitely have to put some workout videos to see how it holds and work ... overall great job 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
Very cool man. I made the buff dudes style rack back in march after failing to get a steel one when they all sold out everywhere. I have been very impressed with the capabilities of wooden racks. Mine is more stable than my buddies 800-1000$ rep fitness cage and I am just as confident in it's abilities. It barely wobbles even doing 450 lb rack pulls. I love you're design though, especially with the cable tower you put on there. If I was to build another I would totally steal your design lol.
I'm very happy with this video. Finally someone ballsy enough to make a proper joint. I would like to see one of those Japanese three way joints though. Or maybe some mortise and tenon joints that go through to the other side.
I'ld love to see how it's in use and how stable it is. I think the ending part was pretty fast. Show me your proud work. :3 It looks awesome this far ...
With this setup anything you feel like you're missing out on vs a commercial gym? Even after gyms open up here I'm questioning if worth going back with strict time limits, having to book a time slot etc in place.
Great build. I highly recommend buying some used Bowflex pulleys. I bought the same pulleys from Home Depot and then upgraded to the Bowflex ones. It's night and day. I got the idea from another DIY power rack video.
Nice work. So many DIY racks being posted these days. From DIY Guru's steel rack to DIY Creators to Buff Dudes to this. All different designs with different price points. Rack styles with different benefits. I'm a fan of the Buff Dudes design that also uses 4x4 and they recently loaded it to over 1000lbs to test max loading. It didn't even blink. The DIY Guru steel one requires welding skill but it is nice looking rack. I would need to still buy the bar and weights which could be pretty pricey.
Make concrete weights! Go fully-fledged Fred Flintstone! Very nice build. I'm not really handy but I think I'll give it a go. I would probably insert the pull-up bar THROUGH the 4 X 4 and attach it on the outside. This will lessen the strain on the screws inside the wood because the load would be supported by the wood itself instead of the screws.
Damn! this is awesome! I just made my version of your "$50 dollar rack", and you came out with this "rack with roids"! This just make me wants to make my own version. Excellent job!
Woww 😮👍👍 Nice work, a few hours to build this wood rak or a few days? If you Can post exactly all you needs to build this rak and all dimensions, i think i ll try to build one 😄🙈🌈 ☀️ very motivated thank you // cheers from Switzerland
saludos,muy bueno,Eddy,siempre pensé,si era posible estos equipos en madera,y ya veo q sí se puede!!! Buen trabajo,y espero surjan otras cosas sobre esto.
Hey, awesome rack. The only thing I worry about is how much weight the pulleys can take before they pull out. I wonder because I have built one of these before and the hook I used to attach the pulleys was looking sketchy. Anyway, good job man.
