  • Cool!!!

    I'm very impressed with this power rack

    Do you think it's possble to add a pull up bar

    To do chin ups

    will it be able to take your weight

    and not having it wobble?

  • Thanks. I guess you could add a chin up bar by just throwing one over the top. It would have a propensity to roll, but it would get the job done. And it doesn't really wobble at all. I don't slam the weight back into the hooks or anything, but it's stable.

  • Yuo are a fucking genius

  • oK don't get me wrong it looks great, But there is a reason that most racks are made of box tubing or 6mm angle.

  • hey bro don't know if you're still around.. but if you are... what exactly his that hook called? to rest the bar on..

  • The title almost made me laugh, then I saw it and was Like wow, Dude you are creative..

  • wow - I have been collecting scrap metal b/c I didn't know if wood was good enough - but clearly it is! This is great!

  • @sebastian30000 Live outside then and get out of your wooden house. The real world is clearly no place for you ;)

  • did you use any screws other than the ones for the brackets?

  • @roddypiperspit

    You can have extra pipes in the top holes and put an extra weight bar across those. Sometimes I throw two older standard weight bars across the pipes and can do parallel pull ups (where your hands face in toward your ears). Also, if you are a dumbell user, you can hang your dumbells from these bars using a chain and some power hooks.

  • @RJNelsen24 buildings in engand r made of wood and still standing after 1500 years ... WOOD is solid :)

  • Does anyone know how are those brackets called?.

  • Great job. You truly have the patience and obviously the skill to do this. I on the other hand don't even have the patience to put together a regular power rack. I'd rather buy one already assembled on craigslist for $200 to $300.

  • I was impressed until I saw those little diameter pipes for the safety catches. I'd say it's a death trap or at least an injury waiting to happen
