Got a short work day tomorrow. Brother gave me a shitload of 4 by 4 planks that he had as left overs.So I figured I'd make a squat rack for myself, since I'm too cheap to buy them and it's not like I have enough room to keep a power rack cage. This is a base sketch design, I'd make it more realistic a bit later, but I have several questions.Would a design like this hold the weights?Would a design like this hold the weights stably?Would this be functional?Is this stupid y/n?
Walking on eggshells, son.All I can see is you stalling and setting the bar down right through the safety supports.
No, no, no, yes.
OP here again, one more question, has any of you tried to make a squat racks themselves?
>>368654you'll never know if you don't tryAlso depends... equipment + time + opportunity cost, it might be cheaper to just buy a real squat rack.
>>368662Can't get one second hand from where I live in. Looking at prices for new ones, no.
