Hey guys (and girls).
I recently put the plans for this build in the video description. Pleas check out the dropbox link 😘
In this video I also answer some of the FAQs about this pulley: ruclips.net/video/B1B5bdsGako/видео.html
If you have any other questions, I'll be happy to answer them 👍😎
"Wear ear and eye protection"
>wears flip flops while grinding.
You have to have balance xD
Hey brotha that’s an awesome build love how it doesn’t take up too much space. Specially for those of us that don’t have too much room. I live in an upstairs apartment and closest gym in 30 mins away+traffic.
Thanks man! It has indeed a very low footprint and that is what I love about it.
Man, strong Brian Alsruhe vibes at the beginning. 😁
Thanks brother! 💪💪
@@BarRookie Great video bro! I am subbed to your channel too! Keep up the good work! Love it!
eye and ear protection, oh yea don't forget your OSHA approved flip flops!
They work like a charm man!! xD
Sounds like Mimimi. Real men do not need this stuff. 🤟😜
@@fahrtechnikguide3677 Hahaha, It is great for rehab and prehab and the little pumps you get xD
This looks like the best one out of all of them here on RUclips !!!! Anybody here getting some ideas because the gyms are closed !!!! (corona v) I will never take the gyms being open for granted any more !!!! I learned my not going to the gym lesson !!!! Uncle !!!! Uncle !!!! Uncle !!!! Already !!!! My main regret is not taking advantage of the Deep Water Therapy Pool and the Deep Water Section of the pool as much as I could have !!!!! and I believe there is not other gym like it..... the gym is focused towards the retired and elderly, but they have Everything !!!!!
Here is that gym.... there is only two of them (Hospital related) in the Chicago area..... www.eehealth.org/healthy-driven/fitness-centers/
Thank you so much for your comment! I am so grateful I invested in a home gym setup. But obviously not everyone can have that in their homes! Know that this will all be over soon, we have to have a little more patience. And then we will be so much more appreciative of the things we had to miss. Stay Safe Oscar! I hope you can enjoy that awesome deep water therapy pool again soon!
Nice video! Thanks! Best wisches from Germany!
Thanks my friend! Greetings from Belgium! 💪
Nicely done
Thanks man!
I am building one just like that.
Thank you 👏👏💪💪💪👌
Awesome! good luck with it!
I would love to see the finished result!
I will post it, if not here then on my Facebook account and i will give you a ring and i will make sure to say that i got the original plans and style from your video ;) I am still mainly going to the Gym to train, is a social thing to me 💪💪 )

Thank's for the reply, that was great . Keep it up, never stop !
Cheers

Thanks man! I will look it up!
Yes indeed the social aspect is so important, that is why I always have someone over 💪
Good luck brother!!
You motivated me to create my own dip bars ( I uploaded the video). Thank you and keep up the fantastic work!
Awesome man!! It look s really nice!!
Thanks for sharing brother!!
It's FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!!!! 🔥🔥
thank you
You're welcome!! 💪💪
Thanks man. Got ideas for my own build from this. Cheers.
That's a badass pulley setup!!
Fantastic! What a job. 👍🏼
Thanks!! 💪🙃
Great build.I am going to attempt this soon.Thanks for sharing
Good luck brother! Please send me a photo if you're done!
Great! Thanks!
you're welcome brother!!
Nice creativity man , love the video
Thank you so much!!
This is awesome . Looks awesome my friend . On the plate holder you can always pull the screws out, and use epoxy or wood glue in the holes then put the screws back in . They will NEVER come out.I think you should have done this video shirtless,just sayin . Again I love this dyi gym .Looks awesome .
Thanks my friend! Ooh but these 15 cm long screws wont come out, you can trust me on this one 😂 the amount of force needed to put them in.. 😳
Hahaha, people would have been too distracted if I did it shirtless 🤣🙃
@@BarRookie lol lol
Excellent make, If use all metals bars with welding better.
True! Everything is stronger in metal, the only downside is that it is not DIY friendly and you need a lot of specialized equipment.
This is badass
Thanks!! 🤙 you can build this too!!
very good work 👍👍
Thank you so much!! 😊😊
i used steel cable (without plastic covering) which was chewed up by the pulley in no time and broke. would i have better luck with steel cable with plastic covering or climbing rope? TQVM
Hi, that is why I used a cable with plastic wrapping. That way everything stays nice together and you avoid friction between the cable and pulley. A climbingrope will probably stretch over time.
That's genius I'm going to build the same thing
Awesome man! When finished, please send me a picture 😊
it ooks cool, but i'm concerned about the weights attachement to the wood box thing
Thanks for your comment! There is really no concern. This black never budged! The 15 cm long screws help a lot with that!
Also I recently made an upgrade, if you care to check it out:
How to make a Cable Pulley Machine with WEIGHTSTACK out of Wood
ruclips.net/video/mO8kIqCiHUk/видео.html
Could you link the connecters that you cut a “V” into that support the metal beams? Thanks
Yes I did, I made a little plank were attached them to. Then that plank I attached to the pulley block up top.
@@BarRookie i mean. The name of the product, so i know what to look for here in my country.. thanks
I purchased some excellent plans from the Woodprix website.
That is great! I hope it will at least work as good as mine 😉
@@BarRookie I did it :) Looks awesome !
What someone could do is follow your plans and just put a longer peice of pipe between that 4x4 block that holds the weight that way they could slide numerous concrete plates made from a bucket as a mold.
I've actually seen somebody do that! Ik looks super nice. Which makes me wonder, wouldn't it be easier to find an old weightstack and use that instead?
Great job BarRookie. I've been looking for a DIY crossover cable pulley system so 2 of these would work just fine. I have one question. Can you provide links or the following items - 2 metal poles
- 4 metal pole holders and 2 metal pole holders (outer diameter: 46 mm) for weight attachment. Thank you for coming up with a great idea.
Thank you so much brother!!
I can give you links for the Belgian stores to have some reference. But if you can't find the exact poleholders, you can also use threaded pipes and flanges.

Fantastic bro
Where can you find the guiding beams?
What is the measure of the blocks without the sides friend!
About 16 cm wde
Awesome build. I have to try it. Been trying to figure out how to do this and this is perfect. One question- how long is the top horizontal bar? Trying to take up as little space as needed :)
Thanks
Nice work!
Thank you so much!!

These are rhe ones I got! 😉
vou tentar fazer um igual a esse, parabéns.
Eu estou a fazer um ;)
Loved the design and the video. In process of building it. Just waiting for the pulled wheels to be delivered. One thing. A seat with the pad to hold the legs down when doing the pulldown. You do not show one. Do you use one? Do you think it is needed ?? If th answer is YEs can you share what you use please.
Thank you so much for your comment. I don't really use one because I don't do latpull downs. I'd rather do pull ups 😉.
But my girlfriend does pull downs and does not use a pad and it seams to work. Maybe due to the light weight she uses. What I suggest is to just try it without and if you find the need for it you can always build one.
If necessary, you can build litte holderd for your feet instead of for your legs, maybe that will simplify the build.
Sorry for not having a definite anwser.
How is the build getting allong?
I'm building the lat pulldown in order to work up to doing pull-ups. I've tried using the chair assist and well as bands to assist the pullup but they do not work for me so I reckon a lat pulldown will allow me to start at half body weight and work up to it. I have set myself an aim of doing at least 5 strict pulls for my birthday on 19 November when I will be 67 !!
good job ¡¡¡¡¡¡
Thanks!! 😁
Where did you get the metal pole holders?
where do I find these "pole holders" @ 5:28 ?
You can find them at the hardwarestore, where you can find outdoor fence poles. If they don’t have that, you can always use threaded flanges and galvanized steel pipes. That is as good as an option!
Can I see thet after 1 year using
Of course man! I'm happy to show you that:
Check out this video: ruclips.net/video/9IJPtsyI6WY/видео.html
I live in UK I can't find those 2 bars that holds the weights in the UK if you got website where you bought these from so if I can order them that'll be great
Maybe look up for flanges, those will work fine too brother. Find some threaded pipe and you can screw the flanges to it.
is that rubber piece on top of your bottom pulley for your seat?
The rubber is to soften the fall of the weights. Sitting is for on the floor xD
Exelent!!!!!!
Awesome build man!!! Where did u find the post holders for the weights? I can't seem to find those anywhere. Please let me know
Check out my other answer bro! :D
does anyone know the measures to drill the holes to place the pulleys? appreciate
You have to make sure the adjacent holes are aligned, so that the pulley will roll straight. Also, you can see the location of the pulleys by seeing were the cable will go an use that as a reference were the end of the pulley wheel has to come.
@@BarRookie
I understand, but there is some measure of the holes the distance from the tip pulley and the base ..
appreciate. good video
Thanks brother. So my theorie is that you need more wood under the pulley wheel than above. Since the forces will be only downwards ones. That is why I would drill my holes 2/3rds of the planks, measured from the bottom of the plank. Hope that makes sense!
What are the dimensions of this plate loaded cable machine? I’m looking at making my own & this is such a great design one of the best on the internet! Great work! 👍🏻💯
Thanks my friend, link to google drive in the description of the original video! (This video)☺️
Let me know if you've found it!
It would be nice to actually see a demo of it working.
Note taking my friend! Will make a video of that soon!
Старик, это круто)))
Thank you so much!! :D (Yes I did put this in google translate ;-) )
@@BarRookie I got it))
Hello,
Can you advise me on where you got your poles and the pole holders. Cant seem to find similar ones on the internet.
Thanks
I think that will be very difficult ordering online. I got them from the local hardware store.
hello brother, i am going to build this pulley system in my home gym. i have a question. can you rotate yourself while you do your exercise? for example to stand a bit to the side and pulling it in another angle.
Do you know how much weight it can take?
Not really, it help up fine with 90 kg for the thumbnail.
Thb I haven't found the need for more than 50kg. The weight seems to heavier than at the gym. It might have something to do with the pulley ratio or something. But it handles it like a charm.
That’s pretty much perfect for me. I’m 81kg so 90 should be more than enough. And if for some reason I still needed more Lat engagement I might as well just do weighted pull ups instead and leave this machine for accessory tricep and bicep exercises.
Thanks for the reply btw!!
This is nice, what is the maximum working load you feel safe to put on this?
I would say around 100 kg, but I've never gotten close to that number!
Hey man, where did you find those metal pole holders?
Hi, sorry for the late answer. I found these at the garden section of my local hardware store. These pole holders come with the green poles that are used for metal fencing. Hope that helps!
good evening! beautiful video i'm brazilian, i don't understand your measurements too much could you give me more details on the measurements. cut list and plans? would appreciate it very much! thank you !
email humberto.nice@hotmail.com
Can someone please tell me what the measurements of wood he purchased in inches?
I just checked again and its about 0.80 inch by 3.6 inch. But you can always go larger if you want to. Hope that helps!
BarRookie thank you thank you thank you!
Why did not you show how you do any exercises on that?
Would you mind sending me a cutlist and dimensions brother !! In return I subscribed and liked the video ☺️🙏😂

Hi bro! I got this one in the hardware section of the DIY store. They sell them on huge bobbins and then you need to cut off the length you want.
@@BarRookie thanks bro
First of all, congratulations friend, it was very good. I want to learn too can you send me the dimensions and material?
Hey Man, thanks! I will, can you send me your e-mail and I will send you the files? 😋
BarRookie me too please, should I just post the address here or?

Thanks ahead!
The only problem with that machine is that u have to put the wight both side to be balanced otherwice it gets stuck
That is true, but that is the same case with barbell training. And if you have a barbell, chance are you have change plates that are low enough. The lowest I can go is 2.5 kg. So far haven't got any issues with it.
bro I really can't understand the plans can you upload another clearer one?
Hey brother, what exactly do you not understand, maybe I can help you like so? The measurements are metric btw.
@@BarRookie what is the exact size of the wood that is being drilled into the wall in the 7:45 minute
@@BarRookie sorry bro my english is not good i am from mexico cancun qrooo
@@kevinalfaro8457 Hi brother, the size of that piece of wood does not matter that much. It is 140x18x700 mm.

Interesting. If you know how to weld just make everything out of metal. Hell you could mimic those machines that cost 500+ down to the t 👍

Just curious, I saw another comment of you popping up. But is got deleted.
Was it you that deleted it or youtube?
Just to know if RUclips is acting weird or not 🤨🤣🤣
@@BarRookie nahh I was saying, you talk about security but u wear flip flop😆 (I laught so damn hard) but after I saw plenty of coms about this. I just didn't want to overdo it ;)
Really helpful the video, I will probably try to build it, but i have a question. What's the max weight you can put on this? I'm sure we can do triceps extension but it is possible to do some lat pulldown?
The mm measurement hurts my brain
I just wanted to be consistent 🤣🤣

06:54 dude I thought you were going to cut your arm off, glad your okay. Haha dangerous move js...Although, this video was extremely helpful I'm going to pick up some lumber tomorrow. Thanks
Looking back at it, it was a dumb move of me. Thanks for caring 💪😍
Realy, realy, realy, a nice make and explanation. I'm gonna try it.
Thanks man! Good luck with it! So far it is still holding up very well 😂☺
bro, when you used the mitre saw, you crossed your arms. this is known to cause a lot of accidents and can be extremely dangerous.
Thanks for pointing out brother! In all honesty, it was my first time using the mitre saw. I will not make this mistake again! 🤙
Thank you for sharing! I wonder if I could add a level of a pulley for bicep curls at shoulder level. You extend your arm out straight and curl. Then for bicep curls and shoulders, i probably need different length cords for that huh?
I use resistance bands due to neck/ back pain. I figure a pulley system would be better than keep buying bands they keep breaking. It's a pain!
I usually work 1 arm at a time because working 2 makes my neck pain worse. It's easier focusing on one arm then switch.
I would have loved a pulley that you can set at different heights. But in order to make that workable, you need a 2 tot 1 ratio. That way lenght of the cable is less an issue.
I would have love to have one at elbow level for external rotations for example.
But despite all of that, it is way better than using bands that break.
@@BarRookie unless the side beams have adjustable levels for the pulley??
Didn’t watch the video, but for a plate loaded pulley system just like this, how much money was actually saved? I wouldn’t think much
Hi Don, thanks for your honest comment and question. Indeed this is not a cheap alternative nor do I claim it to be. This is more about the building experience and sharing this.
Ok, wasn’t trying to be crass about it, was just curious. Thanks for the reply
BarRookie how much did it cost to build this? Just the wood and bolts and all that not including power tools etc

What size metal pole can you post link
Link below, but is really doesn't matter what pole you use. Mine had a diameter of 38 mm. But if your local hardware store only has galvanized steel pipes, these are perfect too. It is just to guide the block.

Safety is number juan priority 😅
Could you Send me dimensions? 😫
d-goncalves@web.de
Check out the link in the description. I have the plans available there.
Where did you get the metal pole holders from ?? Thanks
I've found them near the poles in the hardware store. Your could also use a flange and put a pipe into it.
@BarRookie thanks bro
Idea muito boa
Thanks man!
Never saddle a dead horse. Google it
Damn thank you so much for your comment! I did not know about that. Turned out 2 out 4 horses were saddled and dead. I changed it right away!!
Again thank you :-)
BarRookie no worries brother. In very serious cases in construction etc. people have lost lives over that.
It's not practical! The holes you made in that block of wood to run the guide bars through, there will be lots of friction between the wood and the bars. There is no lubricant to get rid of that friction. As a result, it would be so hard to pull, but easy to let go. Useless for workout!
In theory this may be true, but practically this is not the case.
The holes are adequately large that there is not a lot of friction. But small enough that it does not wiggle
Cool AF! The problem for me is that I do not have the tools to cut the wood nor the metal pieces so I will have to think about a solution or ask someone in the store to cut it for me or just find another solution.
Hey man thanks for watching! You can always ask a friend for tools or check out this video from Coop for an easy solution. ruclips.net/video/up1-7i8OVDM/видео.html
Is that a phallic shaped ", work out" tool? Very odd
Two gratifying things in this video: A very beautiful machine and a US person (at least you seem to be) using metric system!
Thank you so much brother!
I have to let you down, I'm not a US person using metric system xD
@@BarRookie kkkk
Great video, thank you for taking the time to explain and do a follow up. Just finished building mine and it works great. Just need to add the lower pulley, I'm gonna try and make it adjustable so it can be used from different positions.
Great job man!! 😌 I would love to see your version! Please send me some pics on instagram or mail me at barrookie@gmail.com
Good luck with it!! 💪💪
@@BarRookie I've sent you a couple of photos. :-)
Your build is awesome man!! It looks so refined! I really love the angle that you made for the too pulley!
Great job my man! How does it feel to use it? ☺️☺️
@@BarRookie Works and feels really good. I used chrome wardrobe rails for the upright guides, the weight block just glides up with no resistance. So happy with the build. Only thing I messed up (mostly cos i rushed at the end) was the hole for the front pulley. I didn't get them quite lined up so the pulley does not sit straight, I'm gonna open the holes out and add some bushes. Thanks again mate. :-)
Hahaha I know the feeling bro! Once you're almost there, you just want to test it out and be proud of it! 🤣💪
how much did it all end up coming out to?
Awesome! What is the maximum weight allowed for using the low pulley for seated rows?
Also, do you use pulley wheels with bearings?
Your machine is super smooth.
Smooth and sturdy like commercial grade.
You done an amazing job.
I've used 60 kg on them just fine. I think the machine can handle a lot more ;-)
@@BarRookie it could probably handle 250-300lbs. Wood also is very, very strong. If I have time to make a pair of these? I will use 4x4's or 4x6 inch planks.
Again. That is an Amazing Build. Super smooth and High Quality.
For a Mostly wooden machine.
It's pretty much "Commercial Grade Quality".
You truly did an Excellent job.
Nice brother! Thanks for your kind words!
If you make one, I would be happy to check it out!
Where did you find the pole holders in that size?
Great build, man
Thanks brother!! ☺️ I've just found them at my local hardware store. If you cant find it, check out threaded flanges plus galvanized steel pipes
where did you get the pulley ?
They are spare parts for commercial pulley stations.
Any chance you could make a Belt Squat apparatus? Your approach and results look good for the current DIY equipment.
Thank you so much for your comment!! Yes I have been thinking about it too. a belt squat add-on should not be a lot of work. If I make one, I'll post it on this channel man!
