How Much Weight Can A Gym Rack Hold? WOOD vs METAL 

No one would show abuse on social media

Yeah mine kicked me out of his house and never wants me back anywhere near.

@@agoogleuseranonymous2658 It's your fault, who else could you blame the ones that raised you to be a certain way that they apparently don't like? No man, it's on you

@@nickz2147 Honestly I wouldn't mind if he would be doing this to all his kids. Maybe he has other plans. But he lets my sister stay and be almost rent free for as long as she likes.

Their your actual sons? Daam

I plan on building something like this. I am thinking of attaching a three or four foot 4 x 4 to each of the front ends. They will have holes drilled in them that match holes on the main posts. Then I will use pipes like the full power rack.

@@mikemichaels4500 I have a bench that has double sided J-cups, which allows me to do squats, but I wouldn't call it a squat rack. I used it up until I was able to squat 300 lbs, so I joined a gym once that happened. Naturally, the gym is no longer an option. Despite not being able to load up the rack for squats, I realized that I prefer lifting at home. I've been carefully watching Duke's videos so I can build a rack, but I've decided that I don't trust my carpentry skills enough to construct this. So I'm waiting until Rep has the PR 1100 in stock and ordering one. It's costs slightly more than building a rack myself.

@@mikemichaels4500 I made a couple of squat stands that that have safetys

He'll yeah

Wooden spotter arms would be sketchy

😀

Yeah of course it can XD

Thanks so much 😀

This stress test makes sense. A lot of people are making theae racks at home, including me, and i want to know they are safe!

Id say medium difficulty with wood, would use lots of hinges, i definitely can float some ideas, maybe drawings if i had to, first an A frame, we know triangles are strong against sheer (downward) force. This is ideal because it will be loaded with weight. Hence weight bench, natural for elbows to go below during a rep The legs of the A frame at the back can "splay" held in place with steel chain+hooks for decline. To have the feet level with the floor, a quick release style bolt+nut and handle with round end fitted to both feet. Next fire door double hinges to incline the long torso wood, attached to the front end where you sit. Underneath a simple truss style bracket, threadbolt+nut under the torso shape wood to allow the piece to move freely, and u lock or U shaped metal inbetween a second and third wood from the bottom to sandwich in and make this a solid unit. It would take a few hours I think. Id make 2 and use the other for load testing

They have a build video.

Thanks David 😀

You're very welcome William 😀

Someone sent me a message they were going to use sonotube, the cardboard forms they use for concrete pillars but they're kind of big. I thought that was a good idea but you can buy light gauge steel a small sheet from a hardware store and form that into a plate size for the concrete. Fact I think I'll try that 😀💪

@Mohammad Saufy I'm going to be making some concrete weights soon so yes 😀

Check out African workout videos

Yes
