Awesome video can you do one to do cable flys

Awesome video! I just got the pro rack and the carabiner you recommended is too small. What size do you suggest I get for the Pro rack?

Looks good. I built something similar. Trying to figure out a way to hold my legs down.

Great info! What cage and mats are those?

Brilliant! But how did you attach the top pulley to the rack?

Dude, yes.

You need a pair or end cutters / nippers for cutting wire like that. With regular side cutters, you will struggle. I found that out the hard way too, cutting gear / brake cable.

Did you find a low pulley system that works with the PRX rack? I'm looking myself at the moment, but haven't found anything.

Any recommendations for outfitting it to the bottom of rack and using two leg straps to do seated leg extensions? I cant quite figure out the best way to attach the low cable to get the right extension if that makes sense.

Are you able to show us how you transition from upper to lower cables and vice versa? I have a cable pulley system I bought. Love your idea. I really dont get how you use the pull down system you bought.

Awesome

Id would need to find another option for the larger carabiner as my titan t2 doesn't have the side hole options :(

Thank you! I have a PRx Pro rack. I got everything like you said and it worked. My feedback: The large carabiner did not fit. Luckily I had a bigger one in my toolbox. I made one long cable like you did and it worked but the problem now is I won’t be able to use my PRx pulley for high pulley exercises bc I am using that pulley for this new one I made. So what I did was made a shorter cable about 56”-57” long and I connect it to my PRx high pulley to make it longer when I want to do low pulley exercises and I connect it to the lowest part of my rack. Anyways, works great thank you for the tutorial.

A quality clippers to cut cable like that is kind of pricey. Using a cheap tool will do more harm to the tool than the cable. But a $12 angle grinder will cut cable, chain and any metal all day long. Dremel type tools work good too, just slow.

PRX performance. They have different heights. Give em a look

This may be an obvious answer, but your cable length, is that basically just for mid-level but can it work if you put your carabiner at the bottom of your rack, or will you need to have another cable to be for just above ground pulls? I bought a cable pulley system off Amazon similar to yours, but I would like to do mid range and low pulls or rows as well and your DYI seems simple enough I could probably do it myself without my husband's help - well, maybe I'll need his help for cutting the wire, but we have a special tool for that already. Thanks in advanced.
