I did this slightly different. I used some steel I-beam clamps to attach the pulleys to the beam in my basement.

Great idea, But how do you connect the cable at the top ?

Firstly, great videos. You inspired me to do this! I also borrowed ideas from Usawa fitness. I especially like your hitch pin idea. Just a couple of things to add for people: the thickness of the cable will be the biggest factor for your safe working load (material and thread design etc also matter) and to maximize this you should strip the cable of the vinyl where you clamp. You have to use the thimbles and clamps associated samples with the bare stripped cable when done this way! Also from the comments and your link it seems you used 1/8" cable coated to a max outer diameter of 3/16". The break strength of a single cable when is all is done is likely in the ballpark of 250 lbs if stripped (max break strength divided by design factor multiplied by termination efficiency which for your cable is approximately 80% (I used typical values and this could vary)). If you use both ropes at the same time you could lift a load around 500 lbs because the tension would be divided by 2. On a single arm movement I wouldn't go much past 250 lbs. This is probably enough for most people but only works if your strip the cable as mentioned. Thicker cables are available (i.e. 3/16" coated with PVC or nylon to 1/4") which could increase your safe working load. However, for safety I would still advise stripping the ends where you make the loop to maximize "termination efficiency"

For anyone who's watching this and having problems with their cage wanting to tip forward when they use their pulley, I bought a couple of those five gallon paint buckets from Home Depot, filled them with about $6 worth of Quikrete, then put the lids on and used ratcheting tie downs to lash the buckets against the two rear uprights on my cage. (I didn't even bother to mix the concrete -- just poured the dry powder into the buckets.) The whole process cost me about 20 minutes and 20 bucks, and my rack is now rock solid when I use the high pulley.

Yeah the RailTrainer is for sure much better. This was my first DIY cable system.

You’re supposed to remove the vinyl where you’ve attached the saddles and thimbles at the end of the wires. The vinyl adds about 1/16” to the diameter of the wire, so if, for example, you are using 3/16” vinyl coated wires, make sure the pulleys are made for 1/4” wire, not 3/16” wire, otherwise the pulleys will damage the vinyl coating of the wires.

As long as you do the exercises in a controlled way, you shouldn't have a wrecking ball

Hey man just wondering how much of the 10 feet did you cut? Did you use all of them? Im trying to scale your setup to mine as i am shorter than you lol. Im afraid i might get it too short or too long (adds to the expense if i go excess). Also how high is the bar from which you hung the pulleys?

I didn’t cut any of the 10 feet. It’s better to have more cable than to be short. You can always cut off any excess.

Hello. What's the thickness of the wire? 1/8"?

I got 1/8” galvanized coated wire rope with a 340 lbs capacity. Sells for about $0.40 per ft at Home Depot.
