Great job. I built one in 2016, and it's still used 5 days a week now. I would change out from using wood dowl for your pulley system and hopefully the pulley you're using are ballbearing. The pulley bar can be had for cheap, or even made from steel or iron bar just as you did for the pull-up bar. For ballbearing pulley you can use a garage door pulley. As you get stronger, you will use more weight and find these suggestions (hopefully) helpful.

Sure metal is stronger. Wood is pretty strong though if you don't drill a hole in it. I used some climbing rope tied into a loop with double fisherman's and then used cow hitch multiple turns for a high pulley bar. As far as strength I used a dowel, 2" closet rod of wood for several years for pull ups at a 225# body weight. No holes were drilled it it, I used knots and hung it from ceiling. Yes I've seen pipe drilled with eye bolt used successfully too and of course it's stronger. I feel if he can hang from his handle ( attached to pull up bar ) then it's probably strong enough. I do feel not drilling a hole in it would have been better though. He has no leg hold down so he won't be pulling more than his body weight from high pulley so hanging from it is a valid test, tie it to pull-up bar, maybe do some pull ups... don't bend your knees back, be ready to fall, not on your knee caps. If it holds your weight I think you are probably good but don't sue me, my suggestions are for entertainment purposes only! I accept no liability and you should get an engineer's stamp! As of course you should for your rack. I leave it to you...

I'm going to be designing and making my own power rack soon! I have a couple questions. First, do you like using the pipe + flange + end cap as your J-Cup? I'm not sure whether I should go with a simpler solution like that one, or design my own out of wood. Second, do the legs of your power rack rest fully on the floor or are they floating? I want to make one that folds up against the wall, and I'm considering using furniture feet that can lift off the ground so I don't scrape the floor as I fold it up. I like the designs of your accessories! Great build!

The more major concern would be if either the pipes or the bar got a dent, potentially compromising the structural integrity. But I assume that would only happen if a heavy enough weight was slammed down on the pipes. Unlikely to happen, but still something that worries me. With wood being a softer material, that will definitely dent first
