Have you thought of drilling holes and using a plumbing pipe and flange to work as Jhooks? To make it more adjustable to variable heights? Alternatively you could buy barbell racks in sets of 2 and buy 2 so then you can have the barbell rack near the bench press and shoulder area. Love your work

Excellent work my friend. I have a massive question that I think you can answer... A very common wooden power rack design is one that the buff dudes channel make using 4x4 posts and they drill holes for a safety bar much like commercial steel power racks use. My question is how stronh do you think these are and do the holes massively weaken the wood? I'd like to use some 3x3 pine or oak to build one and implement close/West Side style hole spacing but I'm just not sure how it will hold up. Many thanks again for the video.

its not how much it can hold , its how much it can handle if the barbell fell on the pins. Its a safety rack meant to catch a falling barbell not just a stand for the barbell. I would like to see some tests where you drop a 500lb barbell on to the safety pins.

A couple questions, How well does each side stand on its own without the support from the wall? I'm assuming they can stand straight up quite well but if you took the back support away and loaded a bar onto the rack, would it still be sturdy? Also just wondering how heavy each side of the rack was considering the buckets have concrete?

The wall support doesn’t seem to be very sturdy with only some door hinges holding it, have you found any issues with that?
@buildyourgaragegym78353 жыл бұрын
Keen observation and good question. The door hinges have not created any issues with overall stability for me. That is because the hinges do not do any structural work when it comes to racking and holding the barbell. When I rack the barbell the forward force of the barbell gets transferred through the rack and into the wall the support braces are mounted on. The wall is a load-bearing, shear wall with a great deal of structural stability, and the brace design transfers the forward force of the barbell directly into that wall without the hinges doing any structural work. I could, however, see the hinges being a problem if someone used a lot of weight and racked the barbell unevenly. If someone started pushing or pulling really hard on a loaded barbell side to side, left to right, then the wall braces would probably fail, and the concrete bucket racks could tip over. This set up does not provide the type of lateral, side to side, stability that a hefty, iron power rack that has a large square footprint might have. Good question.
