Ok first off don t think that building a wooden power rack is crazy.
Build a power rack from wood.
A power rack offers much needed variety to your workout because you can now lift heavy alone using the innovative safety bar setup.
It only took one day to buy supplies 120 and build.
For people serious about getting fit working all of the muscles groups in a challenging way is necessary in order to continue building muscle.
Or if you did lift inside for bench it would be a reverse lift off.
I used 1 2 pipe and had to.
See plans photo credit.
This homemade stand can be used for both squats and bench press.
I built this rack last summer and it has held up very well.
The diy design costs less than 100 and includes detailed plans to frame it all together.
Truth is i would have loved to buy a rogue squat stand or power rack but at 600 it was just not in the cards.
It really is not and the truth is most people are not going to be doing 500lb lifts and this could prob even handle that if it had too.
The design uses 2 x4 boards and takes just 2 hours to build.
Jostle first off thanks for the detailed plans and pics.
For our needs the wood power rack works great.
A more basic design is this wooden power rack by endofthree fitness.
