    This has to be the 4th or 5th homemade power rack I have seen on youtube that people have CUSTOM BUILT FOR THEMSELVES with the squat rack too high. you SHOULD NOT unrack a squat on your toes. If you put any substantial weight on the bar and unrack on your toes you will fall. Stay safe guys, dont hurt yourself on avoidable mistakes.

      this is stupid. I have a stand alone squat rack (store bought) and I have been unloading the bar from 135 pounds to 425 now ON MY TOES. why don't you just do yourself a favor and act like you know all is perfect.
      great video eddy!

      @orochikid 4 года назад +29

      Alan Zac it’s a safety precaution. You should be able to retail a squat by dropping it if your legs give out from a hard rep, not calf raising it. If you still have enough energy to calf raise it after a burn out set than you’re not trying hard enough.

    Man that's an awesome idea!! Before the whole lockdown I was experiencing some elbow and shoulder pain during OHP so i've taken about a month off of lifting period to just let my body heal. I ordered a steel mace from onnit and have some of my pops old weights that i'm going to scrounge together to hopefully be able to start lifting again so I don't lose my gains by the time things get better.
    I love the fact that you can still do incline bench and even flat bench if you wanted to. Nice man.

    Great job !!!! Only thing you should have done differently is lowered the bar placement catches buy about 4”-5” each one so you can use it for flat benching and so you don’t have to stand on your tippy toes to re-rack while squatting. But still looks great

    In response to the intro - Wood can be just as strong as steel, if not stronger, if you use timber framing/japanese joinery joints such as haunched mortice and tennon and the three way mitre. They do take time and skill but as we've all seen pallets, done properly wood can can withstand tonnes. use load bearing shapes like an equalateral triangle. For a squat rack/cage, don't be afraid to use 4x4 at a minimum. You can turn the barbell unloaded into a pull up bar

    There’s a lot of trust in those little chock block racks. Screws unfortunately aren’t designed for shear stress like that. If you use continuous lengths of 2x4 and have them stepped down it would hold up better. Like, the ultimate thickness would be 3 2x4’s at the lowest point. Especially because I imagine some people who want to recreate this might grab drywall screws not knowing any better and end up with a loaded bar on top of them. Could use some fine tuning, but it’s a good start

    Nice job. I was wondering how I would cope with positioning the bar for the different heights needed for flat bench press, decline and incline. My only worry is that there is no safety net. If anything goes wrong and you need to get rid of the bar there is nothing you can do other than lift it back onto the bar stop. I will see if I can come up with anything that doesn’t get in the way.
