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.

Wooden spotter arms would be sketchy

“I don’t need no spotter are you kidding me?!” 😂

“I don’t need no spotter” spoken like a true mans man. But for real safety when lifting is the key. Great vid guys

I built the full power rack a month ago. Works well. I’d be interested to know how much weight a single racking pin height can hold. I would think the limiting factor would be all the weight in two holes , as opposed to four

Was going to do some serious trolling, but the father son relationship is pretty wholesome. Bless you DIY Duke.

Alan thrall voice: "One! Thooouussand pounds!"

Love the work, one bit of criticism - having 2 bars means you're distributing the stress amongst 4 positions rather than 2. In a way it cheats the test a bit, but I can't see myself squatting 900 pounds anytime soon so no biggie.

woah wth! DIY Duke really is strong for someone in their 60's. I know for sure my grandparents couldn't bench 225 lbs

4 by 4s will handle any weight anyone can possibly manage to do the next 1000 years. Based on my experience with wood, I think you need quite a few 1000 lbs before you are remotely close to get structural failure.

Iron Duke back at it again. Not a huge fan of stress testing stuff, but this was quite good.

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!

Crazy that buff dad has almost the same size biceps as his kids that are probably half his age... buff dad must have been a machine in his prime.

Awesome videos! I'd suggest you stress test the rack with some shock drops (not with 1k lbs tho). A 200lbs weight can easily, easily exceed 1k lbs pounds of force if it builds momentum.

Most of the force being applied to something like this is downward/compressive. Douglas Fir has a compressive strength of about 7,000 psi. The weakest part of this entire rack are the metal nail plates holding the individual timbers together. Strength in this area could be improved by joining the timbers with mortise and tenon joints.

He is the father of the buff dudes???? makes sense. Thats epic man.

3:17 *Very rare indeed - first time I’ve ever seen that* 😂

I think you need to test this out with the DIY 4x4 Squat rack where the drilled holes are closer together.

I'm more impressed with the weight DIY Duke's bench is holding! I think an adjustable bench should be there next challenge 🤔

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

How much did it cost in wood and other parts for the wooden rack?

1:05 😂😂😂haven’t laughed that hard in a while🤣🤣🤣

yall should def be censoring those plates in these trying times 8)

Fun! I noticed the wood rack has a huge crack down one of the sides but it was there at the start of the video and still held up good

Would love to see you drop a full barbell on the power rack safety pins! Built one a few weeks ago and wouldnt mind seeing the pins weight capacity.

Your dad's half rack looks exactly like the ones used in schools (Indian) for high jumps. The only difference, they have a lot more holes for smaller increments of height...

I almost bought those metal racks on ebay for $199 free shipping but was worried about capacity hahahaha

Homemade half rack, homemade bench, and a treadmill because northern winters won’t win the gain war.

You guys should do some kind of "Jungle Survival " parody video! That would be cool !

Do I see a wedding band, Brandon?

Is that bench you're using the same DIY one you built? It looks nice :)

I love three of you do these types videos is great

when Batman was recovering after being kidnapped, he was benching 1000lbs. And thats after being tortured for weeks on end.

What a great family. Greetings from Munich, Tom.

omg so many plates... basically black gold right now on craigslist or fb marketplace T_T

should've mentioned that's nearly the deadlift world record.... (ahhh they did! better wait till the end of the video before commenting next time )

This video is perfect! I own the BD 9s and was always curious on how much weight it can actually hold. Thanks Buff dudes for confirming the weight limit! :)

Notice the extra caution they used on the metal rack as opposed to the casual method used with the Dukes rack.

I would still go with the wood racks, love the video

Do I need a rack to do squats?

honestly with the weight being loaded with the bar in place and not dynamically put onto the stand you're testing the compression strength of the 4x4 which would probably be thousands and thousands of lbs of weight. The points of failure would be the flanges that hold the bar, so you'd need one bar loaded and loaded and loaded... and how the whole rack handles dynamic weight movements that would then challenge the triangles etc. All that said your rack is CLEARLY perfectly safe for if not EVERYBODY at least 99.99999% of weight lifters out there.

Maaaaan you guys have the coolest dad.

DIY Duke is an awesome and knowledgeable guy, would love to hear more about his life.

could you please look into a diy yoke rack? I built your power rack a little over a year and a half ago and it has served me well especially in this quarantine so I know if anyone can make a yoke rack it’s you.

Yeaaaah! I built mine not too long ago for around 150, thank you Iron Duke!

notice the rust on the bar where the bar rests on the chair flanges. Unlike a traditional J-Cup with a plastic / rubber rest, is there any way to protect the bar from "grinding" due to the metal (bar) : metal (chair flange) contact ?

The steel rack doesn't even *look* as sturdy as the wood one. Watching the piling-on of weights makes me think of all the "gym-fail" videos I've been viewing lately. Would you fellas be willing to do some critiquing (good natured-ly, of course, not making fun :^) of some of the "work-outs"in these videos? And if you can figure out what they're attempting, suggest better/safer? Also ... I'm sure I'm not alone in wishing to see some of your outtakes or bloopers! Stay buff AND safe, Buff Family.

What happens when your drop the weight on the rack???

Literally been looking for this exact video since the how much can a bar hold video. Thank you lol we need good entertainment in lockdown lol

I spent £480 on a squat rack that is safety rated for 400kg so about 850lbs... In hindsight I'm glad I did because while I know how to make a squat rack, most of what I got is handtools and still busy with my job (kept) when i leave this job though i will make them for sale online as i knows theres a shortage but im good at carpentry. If it works, it works, right? Doesnt have to be metal lol

Can you make a integrated power rack and deadlift platform

Can you make a cable machine ?

You should have hit them at each weight. to simulate an aggressive re-rack

I told y'all these wooden racks built with 4x4s can hold a lot more than just 300-400 lbs! Those things are SOLID.

Get it big boy

Nice but the weight is distributed and not in a single point plus your not lifting it and putting back down to really see if it can hold so its still a 50 50 percent chance I feel. Now if thousand pounds was all in on bsr that would be the first step to prove the 2nd step would be could your seat even hold it either way awesome video and your stand is proven to be really good

Nice it’s built to last interesting to see how much weight it can hold great stuff

The lateral strength of a 4x4 far exceeds the horizontal strenght of an olympic bar. There should be no concern of breakage.

That aint a commercial steel rack. Icarian, hammer strength, Nebula, etc are rated for well over 2,000. But yes, that wood rack is REALLY cool. Mainly cuz it could be built for under 100 bux

Thanks for bringing back the 80s MATES

thank you guys for this test

I wonder if you could use really strong sawhorses as safeties with this. Of course you'd do this at your own risk. I mean sawhorses of wood that have also been tested with serious weight. Sawhorses like this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lXmJybCjhJTUd7g.htmlsi=Tfew0bzET2mP9p-T I would say if you had a major fail maybe swap out the horse just to be safe or safer I should say. Of course you'd do this at your own risk. A three leg sawhorse might work better, I'd consider that too and bolting that third leg to the crossbeam at one end. Of course you'd do that at your own risk. My comments are of course for entertainment purposes only.

The steel rack should easily be able to hold 10 times that weight if its welded properly

this is such a wholesome family
