How Much Can A DIY Squat Rack Hold?

[@bastipear2864]

Holy smokarino! I am about to build a yoke/squat rack out of 4x4. I am now way more confident in my upcoming build

Awesome video. Very well planned and does a great job of explaining the science and grading system of lumber.

Thank you for the kind words!

This is great information! I just found your channel. I've been building my gym equipment blindly, now I have a better idea of what my builds can hold! Thank you for posting this.

its not how much it can hold , its how much it can handle if the barbell fell on the pins. Its a safety rack meant to catch a falling barbell not just a stand for the barbell. I would like to see some tests where you drop a 500lb barbell on to the safety pins.

Excellent work my friend. I have a massive question that I think you can answer... A very common wooden power rack design is one that the buff dudes channel make using 4x4 posts and they drill holes for a safety bar much like commercial steel power racks use. My question is how stronh do you think these are and do the holes massively weaken the wood? I'd like to use some 3x3 pine or oak to build one and implement close/West Side style hole spacing but I'm just not sure how it will hold up. Many thanks again for the video.

Well done. Keep up on good engineering practice.

Seen a dude squat 350 kilos in his home made squat rack. But of course his built like a tank with 6 columns

Hello brother! That is a good analysis. Im going to do it in another model of wooden squat rack. Do you have an email so can i reach to you?

How much weight could a woodrack hold if a woodrack could hold weight....

It's good to see woodglut have new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.
