I gotta say I never thought of the first one and that is genius.
Thanks Brother! It works great! I felt inspired one day - and wouldn’t you know it….it worked great!!!
Genius ideas to eliminate the swinging. I dedicate my subsequent gainz to your channel, sir.
🔪🐓Remember to kill a chicken as a sacrifice otherwise you will anger the GainzGods ! 🙏🤘💪
Option 3 because I love adding chains to most of my movements, so this will fit nicely👍.
I’ve got option 1 setup from seeing it several months ago on your channel, so thanks Buddy for some great videos🙏
Thank you, Simon! I greatly appreciate it!
Man I love your creativity!
Thank you. LMZ!!!
Great video man! Very helpful.👍🏾
Thank you!!! I appreciate it!!!
The 3rd and 4th... Love it 💪🙂 have a nice day
Agreed! Options 3 and 4 are both great options. Love the dynamic resistance that is felt from these options. Thank you for your support!
Some great ideas, 4th one seems the most workable to me.
Please let me know how it works for you!!! 🤘🙏💪
Great hack! Thank you for sharing this!
You are so welcome!
Option 1 worked perfectly and took 10 seconds to set up. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Excellent!
Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this video
My pleasure! 🤘🙏💪
Thank you 🙏🏼
You are most welcome, Benjamin!!!! 🤘💪🙏
You sir are a genius
Thank you!!! I appreciate your support very much! 🤘🙏💪
AWESOME👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!!! This was a fun video to make!!! 🙏💪🤘
Great ideas:-)
Thank you for supporting the channel !!! 🤘💪🙏
Incredibly useful video, I'm going to try out #1 soon. Thanks for this.
Great to hear! Thank you!
@@DesignBuildLift i forgot to get back to you. I did the chain technique on my pulley and it works like magic. So awesome. Thank again!
@@derekdaz So glad to hear that!!!!! Thank you!!!! 🤘💪🙏
I like all the options. Number 4 won't work as well for my particular setup because my rack has pop-pin safeties that don't allow a band to be positioned as easily once the first side has been set.
But great suggestions!
Thank you for your support, Ron! I greatly appreciate it!
Awesome video! This was exactly what I needed and was looking for. I appreciate all your suggestions, but am gonna try the ones with the chains first, I will attempt to tether the cable first off with a small chain, if it does not succeed, I will move on the to chain method hanging from right above the plate. I just need to get the chains, guess I will go to Lowes. What about the straps? Where would I look to get a few of those? Thanks for your great video.
Awesome! “Soft Loop TieDown Straps” can be purchased from any hardware store for about $1 each. Also - there is an Amazon link in the description of this video for the exact ones that I used in the video. An Amazon link to the chains are also down in the description. Thank you for supporting the channel!!! 🙏💪🤘
Great content as always. Just set up my DIY pulley belt squat machine and I don’t have chains so I’m an option 4 man 🙌 it works wonderfully but it does increase the wear and tear on the bands 🤔
Thank you!!!! I appreciate it!!! 🤘🙏💪
3rd option for the win! I hang mine from a chinupbar so this is the option for me.
My favorite option as well! 🤘🙏💪
Very cool! I’ll be using 3, maybe in combination with 1, I really like testing these things out, it makes training more fun and satisfying. The banded option is interesting too, I’ll experiment with it as well!
I sent you a small donation on PayPal, it’s not much but it’s better than nothing I guess! Have a good one!
Carl - i just signed up for paypal… i saw your donation. Much appreciated!!!! Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏
I think I will go with 1 for the simplicity, but 3 is also very attractive because of the resistance profile. Option 4 not a fan of, and option 2 just seems like an ineffective version of option 3. It swings and just looks not good.
But how awesome that you've provided options to pick from? Super cool! Thank you!
Thank you so much, KidBrown!!!! 🤘🙏💪
Option one 1, best regards from Germany
Vielen Dank!!!!! 💪🤘🙏
Option 3 for me. I like 4 but have a two legged (wall mounted) rack, so anything that relies on internal safety bars/straps generally doesn’t work
Option 3 is awesome! 🤘💪🙏
first one i like the best
That’s a good one!!! 🤘💪🙏
Este bamboleo es un problema con las pesas....excelente explicación
Gracias!!! 🤘🙏💪
Option 3, easy and effective!!! Thanks.
Great choice! Thank you for supporting the channel! 🤝🙏🤘
1 is the best, I tried a variation of it last week using the materials i had available & there was no swing & set up took 10 seconds
1 is a great option! Very fast to set up! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Excellent video and gob bro, compliment and super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy 🇮🇹
Thank you War Machine!
@@DesignBuildLift 💪😉👍
Option 3
Option 3 is 🔥 - Thank you for supporting the channel, Brother!!! 🤘🙏💪
So I tried option 1 and option 3. 1 didn’t work to well. 3 works ok and is my go to but still notice some swing. I imagine 2 and 4 would work best
🤘🙏💪
how do u stop the spinning? does it harm the cable in long term?
All 4 methods featured in this video should work for you. I don’t think it hurts the cable. Please let me know which method works best for you. 🙏
Thanks for the video? What is the thickness of the steel woth the third option? 1/4 inch or os that the width of the chain?
Thank you! 🤘🙏💪
1/4” is the thickness of the steel. Available here:

• 48” Long ¼” Chains (2 Pack With Hooks): amzn.to/3czpzDO
@@DesignBuildLift thanks you very much!

Nice video! I like cable systems but hate having to load plates this way wish somebody made a loading pin with side loading so you don't have to latch and unlatch it each time and far easier to do! I also don't want to pay the $1300 for Rep's cables as they're 2:1 ration and takes 300lbs to feel like 150.
Thank you! 🙏🤘💪I also have thought that such a loading pin would be great. If I could weld I would definitely attempt it.
I love my Rep Fitness Ares attachment (purchased after I made THIS video). It has two 300 lbs stacks, where the functional trainer capbility has a 2:1 ratio, but I am glad that it does. This is done to improve the range of motion and smoothness of the operation. Without the 2:1 ratio the Functional trainer’s cable travel length would be too short (the stack would hit the top of the guide rods before you get a full Range of motion for many exercises).
Ok that makes a lot of sense! Does it fit 100% in the 16 inch weight addition? I have the 30+16 and hoping it can fit back there. I think thats the best option. What functional strength exercises do you use it for?@@DesignBuildLift
How do you stop the cable from spinning and basically untwisting itself.
Had that happen to two cable so far.
I can hear when it’s about to break as the cable travels over the pulley and see the distortion in the cable protective sheathing
Great question! Happens to me, too. Will happen to everyone. I just replace mine when I know its about to break. The vinyl coated cable from the hardware store is not the same cable that equipment manufacturers use. I think the only option to prevent this is to upgrade to better cable. Of course you could also switch to rope/cord (but then you have to deal with knots/tangles which is why I stick with the cheap vinyl coated cable). 🤘🙏💪
Your post made me aware of the problem so I will give you the solution I used. The cable is spinning because the plate is spinning causing the cable to continuously twist. On the side of the cable that attaches to the handle, I inserted a swing swivel that allows the wire to untwist itself.
What about cable twisting.
Have broken two cables from twisting
My opinion: you can’t prevent it. The cheap vinyl coated cable that I used will break. The trick is to replace it before it breaks. See 17:12 of this video: ruclips.net/video/ClfftecMCkg/видео.htmlsi=07HgZUMuVEaJqNkh
When it gets dark gray, it is time to replace it. Cheers! 🤘💪🙏
Looks like 3 is the easiest and the most effective
I love option 3! The set up is lightning fast, and it is very effective! Thank you for supporting the channel!
Nr 3
Great choice! Thank you for supporting the channel!!!🤘🙏💪
I use 3
Great choice. Quick setup and very effective!
#4
That’s a good one!!! 🤘
Pption 3
Thank you for supporting the channel Zafar! 🙏
Number 4 by far. Why? No noise so you can focus on the exercise at hand. Most everyone has pin safeties on their power racks.
That is a good one!!! Thank you!
Easiest way is to just use a second pulley. You work against one pulley, the weight is only ever pulled vertically. No swing.
That didn’t work for me. In fact it made the “whip” even worse for me. In this OLD video at 3:20 you can see swing with two pulleys while pulling straight down. Link: ruclips.net/video/Fo1WSsl626c/видео.htmlsi=e_EZbOiI5XzRzH9U
@@DesignBuildLift Interesting. Two differences in your setup and mine are that my pulleys are larger diameter and my cable is smaller diameter and looks more flexible. I wonder if either of those are factors but it's good to learn that my experience isn't universal anyway. I had another thought while thinking about this. It'd be a little more setup and you'd have to double the weight for a given exercise but I've been thinking about doing a snatch block setup with a pulley at the loading pin to get more range of motion in the cables without the loading pin hitting a pulley (which happens sometimes if I want to do cable flyes or something). Thanks for the video and response.
Is this guy Einstein?
Thank you, Brother!!!
