Dear lord people need to stop with the whole "I don't trust it. It's made out of wood" I'm a building engineer and let me ask you this. What the hell is your roof made out of!? Wood! What's your house made out of? Wood! The house is exposed to weather elements for 100 years and it's still standing. You could literally park a car on that rack and it would hold!

@@neonbootygoon4385 Triangles and angles? HAHAHA!!!!! Yeah, there's no risk that I'd work with you or anybody you know because I don't work with idiots.
Main thing I would upgrade on this is edge distance for the screws but the OP is limited to what plates are commercial available. Those plates have more than enough rigidity to counter any joint moments introduced by a such a small load. Id also flush off all the joints and use wood glue for added rigidity. This equipment wont last a commercial gym though. Those screws would eventually tear out over time. There are areas to be improved. Some of the joints were cut to be wood on wood bearing joints, and otheres were shear joints (wood on steel plate on screw) and should be swapped. Outside of that , A for effort, B for execution, C for engineering savyness. I really liked the concept behind this build. Could definitely be improved with minor tweaks, but its passable for sure. Good job. Im copying this and improving it for my rat gym build!

Nice build but with the spotter arms being static, it would be hard to flat bench unless the bench is elevated higher than the arms. . That part on the pipe you use as j-hooks is called a flange. The other is just a cap. . The Buff Dudes loaded their wooden rack to over 1000# using two bars. So squatting 300+ should be no problem. Out here in SoCal, I wonder how long before termites take over?

Nice build bro,don't worry about how much it will hold.I guarantee it will hold whatever you can lift,and more.there are few people that can lift enough to make me worry about a rack such as yours.you should put a piece of pcv plastic pipe a couple inches long over the gas pipe your using as j cups so it won't push in if you hit it while your lifting also it will protect your bar and can spin on the gas pipe so you can move the bar left or right when it's loaded much easier

Nice build. I'm going use your design for the weight trolley on the pulley system. Adding a pvc collar to your J-hooks would both prevent it from being accidentally pushed into the post and would provide protection for your barbell. Metal on metal isn't good for the bar, especially the knurling.

Since it's just screws holding the pulley rollers, it makes make more sense to put them on TOP of the wood. This makes it a LOT stronger when doing pulldowns.

yeah but i built a system like this and luckily with pulldowns and the way pullys work the force is not absolute on them and really they can easily handle the weight most ppl would use. If you went over 150 to 180lb on that i would be a little worried just for the screws sheer strength where the top will just pop off the shaft. But also depending on what screws and even if its just two an average deck screw will hold a few hundred pounds before it either rips out of the wood or pops the head off kzread.info/dash/bejne/nXWsqaOCdsXXpZc.html God damn all these educational youtube channels are amazing

Nice rig. Just one thing...those 'j-cups' 15:05 make me nervous. It seems that knocking the flange (the flat bit at the front) with the barbell could easily drive one or both cups backwards flush against the post, leading to injury or worse. Adding a spacer block from some scrap wood to fit under these would prevent that, and would add extra support to the cups. Or you could modify the pin part itself with a sleeve? I wonder if you have already thought of this, if so an update on what you changed would be great!

I like your build. Especially having a lat/tricep pull down. Although and this is just me, I would put like 24-30” between the 2 uprights drill holes in both supports so to put a bar in as a safety. Your devices to have the bar rest on is nice. Overall NICE! 👍

If you're going to put weight for shrugs on the horizontal beams I'd put another support under them near the middle upright post. It looks like the 4x4 that you'd put the bar on is not set in the main middle post like a mortise(as you did at the other junctions) but just held in place by the metal plate and screws.

hi, you can the plan with the measures, please I have to build it too
Great build. I’m about to drop $475 on a Rogue Squat SML 3 squat stand.
Can you make a video describing how you made the cable system plz!!! Thankyou
Awesome! How stable is this when you are doing pull up or muscle up?
what happens in the bench press if you fail the last rep
Saludos!! Para haberlo hecho d tu mente,así en el momento,sin planos,kedó muy bien!!...
Hey Eddie Love the Rack and sure I can do it but would be nice to have measurements pipe sizes lengths pulleys and height of the safety rack and ETC that would be awesome. thanks Kenny
Great job! Was looking for a good design. Found it.👍 Please change the screws holding the pulleys. Too small for a strong guy like you. Longer screws with washers and nylock nuts.

I thought the same thing, they should really be anchored with bolts that run all the way through the beam and are tightened with washers and nuts on the other side. Screws alone will fail after enough reps
Excellent job bro !
There's no reason you couldn't put 405 on that, it will hold easily. I built a different version of a squat rack but out of 2x4s and the first thing we did was load all the weight we could on it. Multiple people use it every day and we have 0 problems. Pull ups, bench, squat, works like a charm

Shannon I agree and mine has done it. People just get sketched out
WONDERFUL WORK
Nice build! What’s the height of the highest point of the rack? And what’s the length of the rack? Thank you
Decline bench press is possible on this rack??
How stable is the pullupbar? I whant to do musle up training on this thing. Is that pasible?
appreciate the perspective man
Asking again for dimensions and a cut list. PLEASE????
It will be great if u can make also adjustable safety 👍👍👍its cool powerrack dude
Your next diy should be cable cross overs
Hi, I was just wondering if you could tell us the dimensions of this? Thanks
Really well done Bro..! :-)
Make a vid on concrete plates!
Low pulley , how does that work ?
Could you provide materials, measurements. Thanks!
How long are those steel pipes connected to the floor flange (bar holder)?
What are the dimensions? I'd like to see how much space it takes.
2x4 dimensional lumber x 2 pieces can hold 1800 lbs.... load it up no problem 😎
hi Eddy, would you be willing to share the dimensions, please? In return i can make a build plan to share with everyone. I hate going to the gym now, cant stand the gym culture of brosefs comparing gains. lol
Awesome 👍super like it ur a genius .... tnx much for sharing ur squat rack 👊
solid job, bro
Watch this dude try to sell these blueprints In a couple of months lol

those are nominal 4x4 posts, so most likely they will measure 3.5 in. x 3.5 in.
It looks like you put the saddles on the wrong side. You never want to settle a dead horse. Meaning the wire rope that is cut does not want the saddle to be on that side.

Tavo Games thanks man
this is a nice looking power rack but for 280, that's too expensive. it's basically as expensive as buying a metal one. yours looks nicer but you also needed to build it yourself too.
hehe
Where did you get those pulleys ??

At some point you would have been better off welding your own with 4-inch square tubing, or better, buy a used one. Also, consider the reality that going to the gym will never be the same experience as before. Settle in, we're in for another 18-24 months of this particular strain of Corona virus; there are more to come.

Relax your head on the bench when you're doing press chest.
Nice build, and while I understand your need to cover your ass legally because of the litigious idiots in the world, Buff Dudes had a 4x4 cage (similar) build that they stress tested to 1000 lbs with absolutely no issue. That's not a "light duty" rack you haven't there People are dropping big $$$ on setups that only a small percentage of strength athletes in the world have any potential need for.
Worried about the safety hooks of the bar when bench pressing easily accidentlly pushed back and you are in big trouble man.

Puno Nalu I’ve taken that Into consideration. The holes are snug enough and they require certain twisting/pushing to be pushed all the way in so hitting them with the bar loaded isn’t all that troubling and I’m careful when re racking so it’s all good. I built it. I know it’s weak points, what not to do, etc.
Great job but for $50 to $150 you can buy a metal squat rack in this same configuration. But still really good work.
