- How Much Weight Can A Gym Rack Hold? WOOD vs STEEL
We've gotten a lot of questions asking how much a wood weight rack can hold, so we figured we'd try it out and see. Is over 1,000 pounds possible? It's time to find out.

I love the relationship you have with your sons. You are a good man and Father.
No one would show abuse on social media
Yeah mine kicked me out of his house and never wants me back anywhere near.
@@agoogleuseranonymous2658 It's your fault, who else could you blame the ones that raised you to be a certain way that they apparently don't like? No man, it's on you
@@nickz2147 Honestly I wouldn't mind if he would be doing this to all his kids. Maybe he has other plans. But he lets my sister stay and be almost rent free for as long as she likes.
Their your actual sons? Daam
Obviously the answer is going to be less than Buff Dad's warm up bench
😀
Yeah of course it can XD
Duke should design and develop some spotter arms for this rack.
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.

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.
@@mikemichaels4500 I made a couple of squat stands that that have safetys
He'll yeah
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.
Thanks so much 😀
Alan thrall voice: "One! Thooouussand pounds!"
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.
Hey Hudson you look really good man, I'm glad that the injury didn't get to you down. You even look better than before the injury so I just want to say well done mate and keep working hard.
From: Buff comment.
woah wth! DIY Duke really is strong for someone in their 60's. I know for sure my grandparents couldn't bench 225 lbs
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.
This was a lot of fun to watch! thank you Buff Duke for the awesome Instruction on how to make this great quality racks 😎👍. Always a pleasure to see videos out of the buff dudes 😍🥰
Hi Duke, I find your videos both inspirational and entertaining. Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. I look forward to the next video!
Thanks David 😀
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!
Great to know! I'm planning on building one over the summer!
One cool dude! Awesome channel. Keep up the good work!
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
He is the father of the buff dudes???? makes sense. Thats epic man.
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! :)
DIY Duke is an awesome and knowledgeable guy, would love to hear more about his life.
3:17
*Very rare indeed - first time I’ve ever seen that* 😂
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
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.
1:05 😂😂😂haven’t laughed that hard in a while🤣🤣🤣
"I don't need no spotter! - You kidding me?"
- Classic Dad response
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.
I think you need to test this out with the DIY 4x4 Squat rack where the drilled holes are closer together.
What a great family.
Greetings from Munich, Tom.
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?
Didn t know duke had a channel of his own subbed right away
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.
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
this is such a wholesome family
yall should def be censoring those plates in these trying times 8)
Right on fellas! I figured both of em would hold up, but in all honesty, I’d put more faith in the Wood! Great job Buff Daddy!
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.
Brandon rocking that quarantine mullet lmao
Nice it’s built to last interesting to see how much weight it can hold great stuff
I would still go with the wood racks, love the video
Never knew BUFF dad had a channel! Subbed...
Please do this again in a year to see how to wood has lasted
Maaaaan you guys have the coolest dad.
May I ask, what wood did you used?
when Batman was recovering after being kidnapped, he was benching 1000lbs. And thats after being tortured for weeks on end.
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 ?
You guys should do some kind of "Jungle Survival
" parody video! That would be cool !
Do I see a wedding band, Brandon?
Yo Duke first of thanks for all these diy videos. Have built a squat rack of my own too." Can u teach us how to build a wooden trap bar/ farmers carry"
That’s a badass ‘stache Duke!
Best father sons bond I’ve ever seen me, my father are very close as we have very similar interest but my older brother is a loner 😂
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 )
I'm just wondering if this is the homemade bar or is this one that was bought?
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...
WOW! Great Content
I almost bought those metal racks on ebay for $199 free shipping but was worried about capacity hahahaha
thank you guys for this test
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.
Homemade half rack, homemade bench, and a treadmill because northern winters won’t win the gain war.
Yeaaaah! I built mine not too long ago for around 150, thank you Iron Duke!
You're very welcome William 😀
Look at all those metal plates! The new Black Gold.
Are those Amber Visions or Blue Blockers ??!!
either way love the vid
Can you make a integrated power rack and deadlift platform
hahah love your videos
Get it big boy
You the man duke
Wow that's awesome!
omg so many plates... basically black gold right now on craigslist or fb marketplace T_T
Great video great workout Training body 💪💪
Do I need a rack to do squats?
Keep in mind posts like this hold up decks.
Do this but for the power rack because I want to know how much weight mine will be able to hold after I'm done building it
Thanks for bringing back the 80s MATES
coolest dad ever!
Holy crap diy duke is going bicep quake the internet wu!
What's the song at 2:30?
Muy bueno. Outstanding.
Yess the duke provides
Notice the extra caution they used on the metal rack as opposed to the casual method used with the Dukes rack.
Are you the 3 AMIGOS? JAJAJAJA
BIUTYFULL FAMILY GOD BLES YOU
Can you make homemade spotter arms
Just built this bad boi and the bench for me and my boy . Thanks Buff Pop it's the mutts nuts 💪💪😁😁
You're very welcome 😀💪
Hey Duke can you do a tutorial on how you would make weight plates I was considering mixing concrete and epoxy but sure how to make the mold
Someone sent me a message they were going to use sonotube, the cardboard forms they use for concrete pillars but they're kind of big. I thought that was a good idea but you can buy light gauge steel a small sheet from a hardware store and form that into a plate size for the concrete. Fact I think I'll try that 😀💪
@Mohammad Saufy I'm going to be making some concrete weights soon so yes 😀
Check out African workout videos
I also have made wooden bench for.presses ... ❤️❤️
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.
Which wood did you use?
Douglas fir
Why don’t list all your cuts and supplies on the description below?
They have a build video.
Can you make a cable machine ?
What happens when your drop the weight on the rack???
wow, gonna make one of those wooden racks myself just because of this lmao
What an awesome dad.
Thankyou 😀
You should have hit them at each weight. to simulate an aggressive re-rack
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
The steel rack should easily be able to hold 10 times that weight if its welded properly
That Ponytail on the Brandon is ridiculous.
turns out wood is very strong!!!
"Buff Dudes Wood is definitely Good"
Can you send me some of those 45s and a half rack 🙏🏽😂😂
