    I think the idea is great. I've been going through a lot of your DIY videos recently for home gym equipment - actually super excited to build a squat cage rack after watching your video. But, I don't know if this particular equipment is all that safe.. it looks like it positions your spine in a very uncomfortable position; rather, the point of where you bend your hip is an anchor. All the pressure seems like its going to be placed on that area. Might just be me though.

    Okay here is the info Rafael, et al: the square tubing is 1 -1/2 × 1 -1/2 inches, the top piece is 41 inches long that's where the weights are put and also where you push against. Next is the base made of the square tubing: 2 pieces at 36 inches, those are the length. The width is at 32 inches (two of those). You have 4 pieces, 3 inches long which have two holes 3/8 inch drilled in each one. They are welded to the 32 inch pieces, this is so you can take the donkey press apart. Course you'll be drilling 3/8 inch holes in the 36 inch pieces to create the frame base. If you don't need to take apart just weld the base. Two sizes of pipe: 1- 1/4 and 1- 3/4. The 1- 1/4 is used for the support and the 1- 3/4 will slide over the 1- 1/4. I put a little axle grease on the 1- 1/4 so it slides easier. There are two 1- 3/4 pipes cut at 24 inches and 2 at 14 inches on top where the weights go. 2- 1- 1/4 pipes at 36 inches and 4- 1- 1/4 at 16 inches for the 45° supports. The plywood base is 26×34 inches. Two 2×4 's 34 inches long cut in half length wise at a 45° to provides rear elevation. The plywood is screwed to the 2×4's. Then padding and upholstery cover. Course you can adjust the height of pipes for your particular height.
