Oooo nice! Discount home gym

Amazon sells a lot of great kits for doing this project. Comes complete with attachments, cables, pulleys, load pin for standard and Olympic size weights. You can find many for under $40 and they're ready to go.

Awesome 👏🏽

[@nfix09]

indeed very doable, would definitely attach the feet to the loading pin, put a second nut against the first, crank them together, they wont loosen really liked someonelse's suggestion of making a second version of the loading pin for holding dumbell pairs if you set the cable length at the highest exercise position, you could use short lengths of chain and an extra caribiner to adjust for lower exercises

I thought of the 2nd nut to tighten after I had left the hardware store, will definitely be doing that!

YOU can add a a square 16" x 16" pc of plywood to put your weights on , or a use a pc of 2x 4 or GLUE 4 of them side by side

Time under Tension / Position of Flexion / Range of motion ............Make ANOTHER " WEIGHT Pin STACK "" YOU have 50 & 6 0 lb dumbbells Make the plaTFORM BIG ENOUGH , to put 2 dumbbells Vertically on either side of the new pulley in a square pattern , to weigh it down ...

[@knowitall8799]

Solid idea! Was considering making some standard sized 45 lb. weight plates and using them on this because at the moment I can only fit about 85 lbs. because the 50 plates I made are so chonky.

Curious about your take on a power rack/pull up bar

[@knowitall8799]

I don't have the space for a power rack in my current home, but I would love to build when I have the space! The gold-standard for DIY power racks seems to be the Buff Dudes design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJXcZpivgqmnacU

Well Mr know it all,do you think your talking to a bunch of simpletons?I think it's pretty obvious that the cable needs to reach from the floor to the pulley.you shouldn't have used the vinyl covered cable it will very quickly crack all up and peel and make shit all jerky.why would you not put a lock nut on the bottom of your weight pin instead of glueing the nut?you should have used the aluminum cable ties you pound flat,much cleaner look and won't ever slip.the pulley you used is much to small in diamator and will cause a shitload of friction once you actually put some weight on it and will cause your cable to curl all up when your not using it,they sell much bigger ones right beside that tiny thing you got.since you didn't mount it to a power rack you can't put a low pulley attachment on it without bolting something to your floor.but other than that good work
