Thank you so much for this idea. You saved me from spending $1500 now ill only have to pay for the hardware! Already build my self a squat rack and adjustable bench next to no cost.

[@bd764]

Absolutely fantastic build. I have been building my own gym equipment for 40 yrs including benches,hack machine,lat pully machine,preacher bench,and wrist roller machine.Wood can be as good as steel.As long as you use the proper engineering designs,mostly using triangles as the basic frame, and fasteners.Thru bolts with nuts,as opposed to lag bolts. Etc...

[@donaldduke2233]

Outstanding piece of workmanship! Thanks for sharing it.

The best leg press wood homemade that i saw in my live !!!! Nice job man !!!👍..i will do one for me and for my wife!

[@Hermit_of_the_Holler]

Late to the party...but had to let you know I appreciate you taking the time to make this video.

[@adrienflueler1129]

I love your project! I so much want to build it too now. 😊👌🏼 if you would be able to provide a cut list and plan that would be amazing and super helpful. I love your diy projects and will be looking forward to any upcoming new video! Keep up the great work. 😎💪🏼

[@martinjensen3688]

Hi, thanks. I just put together a video where I do some measurements of the leg press. Hopefully it'll help you kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXPddnqOfpl5p68

[@jeremythomas7004]

Great video, i could not stop watching. My goal is to build my own version of this but a hack squat instead of a leg press.

Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Father Lima . God bless , Bro.

[@jpmillan9985]

Good work man, I hope to see more of your projects

[@tsgarage2382]

Good construction except I would probably use 4x4 fence posts for the frame an then continue on with the same rail system, an roller wheels that are fixed. an make it wider so its more stable an can hold more weight, I was just about to start this project an came across your video, I was thinking the exact same guide setup an wheels. Love your seat setup an the different seat angles , awesome work man.

[@martinjensen3688]

Thanks for your comment - make sure to see my video with improvements kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2eYaIGEotmZgMk The legs have been doubled making them 4x4. Wheels are fixed - I started with rotating wheels, but that didn't work well (pretty sure I mention it somewhere in this vid). I always try to make things as compact as possible, since I don't have a lot of space - but I do get your point ;)

[@mikebuckhout-white7985]

Nice work. I would absolutely suggest that the 2x4 stopper arms were tall enough to contact the wood part of the trolley instead of just the wheels. That could mean using a 2x6, or maybe just another piece of 2x4 securely bolted to the top edge of the existing arm. Other than having a continuous steel pipe for loading the plates onto, the rest looks solid!

[@martinjensen3688]

Thanks - will look into the stopper. Yes using one pipe would be a big improvement, and something that is on my list. I don't have a steel supply anywhere near me, and the closest charges more for a cut pipe that would fit this, than a uncut length of 6 meter, which is a bit to long for my car ;)

[@tsgarage2382]

good eyes I saw the same thing, an for safety you can add side sliders for the lowest safety stop for if you cant push the weight up an its past the first stopper arms.

[@Six6Fit]

Great job! Now I need to play around with this to modify for hack squats

[@gangawerks]

Well done....thanks.

[@carolynlee840]

Hey Martin. I love this and thank you for sharing with us! I have a question. Do you have a list of the materials you used? Im looking at your revised video of the leg press now. thank you!

[@mohinderusa1]

Thank you so much sir, it's very helpful, God bless you.

[@che-luison4984]

It would be great to make it convertible into a hack squat adding some removable padding to the top

[@TheWoodlandReboot]

Nice design and great leg press Martin. I will use your design to build a leg press within the next 6 months. Thanks!

[@chrissielbeck49]

Nice. I hadn’t thought of a furniture trolley.

[@johnshadow9310]

Beautiful craftsmanship. Excellent

[@aaronchipman4438]

Good ideas !

[@andrealecismusic4328]

I was thinking about crafting my calf stand and my luthier suggested me about carving headless nails together with the glue in order to have a double sistem and help glue witstand mechanical stress, hope it helps if you haven't already done

[@Mike-xj6pi]

I’m a metal stud framer by trade but carpenter over all this is a good build good job bro

[@CemlynJones1952]

It would be great to modify it so you could use it as a ha k squat machine as well. Great stuff

[@paulatovarjimenez1830]

Thanks for teaching us 💙 Your very creative love you!!

[@codejarr]

Great job my friend, thanks for sharing.

[@MarcJohan2009]

Looks solid! Thank you for sharing.

[@jondeth298]

It would surely handle 1000lbs with the amount of lumber there, but I do see a few spots it would need reinforced in first. *It's a great design and I realize I can build something similar but much smaller to hold a tremendous amount of weight.* A small, simple design I can take up to 400lbs but use with my back and butt on the floor. There's always high reps and 1 leg at a time anyway.

[@r.mhaych5021]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, very good craftsmanship mate

[@sharlenefabienne485]

More men like him thank you

[@romeobugallon3551]

Love this video. Would you be able to make an attachment for a smith machine for leg press like the one for force usa, without the pin for general brands of smith machine. Thanks in advance😀

[@alanramnanan]

Genius!!!!!!amazing!

[@bagzhan_agai]

Thanks for the video

[@JoeyHern]

WOW BRAVO!!

[@louis7796]

Great idea keep up the good work

[@KenanAltay]

Nice. Thank you

[@katelbach6616]

this is genius, subscribed!

[@henrikbrmer6318]

Har lige fundet dine videoer. Meget inspirerende. Fede løsninger

[@martinjensen3688]

Mange tak ;)

[@rjaikofitness]

wow very nice!

[@harris091172]

i would make the stops go to the wooden frame of the trolley and not the wheel, as this is a lot of weight against the wheel.

[@javis9950]

15:46 if you used an L bracket on the little wheel it could hold substantial load.

[@lenroycalnick3016]

Excellent!

[@Viralclown]

Maybe sheet the sides to work as bracing

[@avruvimtu2204]

🤣😂😂 We have achieved it, fellas.

[@mi_chiamo_alex]

congratulations ...is exactly what I wanted to achieve ... but my project is a little different from yours

[@elcisouza7080]

[@drizzie9575]

plate the wood with metal sheets

[@jonashall9800]

Martin hvor i verden bor du? Ville meget gerne komme og se alle dine projekter

[@JesusGarcia-hd5kv]

How much to build me one ?

[@thashyalegacy8471]

Would you sell these?

[@mosecastro9481]

F yeah

[@lesserleeking]

Could you give measurements from heigh back poles? From that I should be able to calculate the totals

[@martinjensen3688]

Height is 145cm / 57" Width is 60cm / 23.6" Length is 200cm / 78.7" Height can be reduced with 10-20 cm if you are like my height (177cm). Width might be a good idea to increase to 70-80cm, but 60 will work. I'll be doing some minor modifications - will post video later. A mechanical stop (just a block of wood) mounted on the side of frame to prevent the trolley to go all the way to bottom and eventually crushing me (just in case). And the backrest I'll replace the hinge (which is not designed for such load) with a pipe similar to the adjustment.

[@lesserleeking]

@@martinjensen3688 sounds good, thanks for taking the time to post this!

[@salty1234567890]

Plans please?

[@martinjensen3688]

I have no plans for it, except what I mention in this video, and the video with improvements (make sure to go see that as well). This video should be enough to give most people an idea on how to build it. Sure a cut list would probably be appreciated by most people.

[@neogigo]

Martin Jensen yes a cut list and a detailed plan would be great 👍🏻

[@martinjensen3688]

@@neogigo Just made a video where I do some measurements, hopefully that'll help kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXPddnqOfpl5p68
