It's nice that someone who clearly has access to every piece of fitness equipment still thinks of others!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We love sharing!

[@michaelkowalski5760]

Again Thank You Kristi and Patrick with these awesome ideas. Patrick should have his own DIY Fitness Channel.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

haha not a bad idea!🤔

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

I agree!! He has been doing this stuff for years.... before my first games he came up with some fun concrete sandbag carry options too! Maybe I will find that footage from 2016 :)

[@fillmoremacrackin4321]

You guys are so helpful and very bubbly which makes it awesome to watch thankyou so much for all the help and I wish you happiness and hood health L&R

[@robbaker-05n]

[@cristinapodoreannu3458]

Thanks a lot Kristi for the playlist!!! You and Pat are great! I like the vibe that you both have! Take care!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Thank you! means a lot to hear that !!!

[@cristinapodoreannu3458]

I was thinking the other days. For me as a beginner crossfiter (1 year) having to create my WOD based on what equipment I have at home it's a little challenging. Our trainer is making us workouts to do at home, but I want to focus on my weak points. 😬 And I would like to ask you if you can make a video explaining the basic of wod creation. What flow to follow or how to divide the wod (eg. a part for weightlifting practice, one for an AMRAP and another for strength)? I would really appreciate your advice!

[@Grey_Tucker]

One of the best fitness/CrossFit channels on YT right now! Keep up the great work!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thank you! Will do!

[@patwixted2060]

these diy ideas are genius....absolutely will be making all of this

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Thank you! we have more coming!

[@rekik66]

If you attach long chains to the weight or a band it will control the swinging and will also add weight as you pull. Great vid!!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Great tip! Will try this!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

I dig it! thanks!

[@banshee107]

Smart!! Nice

[@bobbypeters3248]

Another great DIY...empty bucket with lid...fill with rocks, to use for carries. I also bought bags of sand and wrapped them in duct tape for sandbags

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

That is a great idea!! Carries are so good for you!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

nice!!

[@thechad209]

Once again you guys are Awesome!!! I’ve been doing “Home Depot” DIY type of gym stuff for years now and you guys still surprise me with all your creativity! Keep it up as you both are a bright shining light in this time and your positivity and enthusiasm are so contagious so let’s keep spreading that and stomp out the negative. God Bless you both. Take care.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thank you so much for the kind words!! Thank you for watching and we will continue to try to bring you exciting new things that are also. very cost effective!!! Have a great day!!

I like that pulley system set up! Thanks for sharing! I wanna try both of these.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Yes its great!! Simple and easy!!

[@StephFranco55]

Thanks so much for these videos! I made one of the slosh bars using 1 1/4” PVC pipe and filled it with sand to make it heavier! It was so easy to make and I will definitely be making more! Thanks again!!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

nice! We love ours too! use it almost daily!

[@2xmatthewx4]

Awesome little pulley system! Even better that it's completely portable and can be set up almost anywhere as long as it is a stable anchor point.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Yes!! Parks on jungle gyms! Anywhere!

Thank you for watching!! We have fun coming up with new ideas!!

[@ashleymosley8604]

Look forward to your videos everyday! I hope even when you get back to the gym you are able to continue as many diy videos as you can for those of us who can't afford the expensive stuff and or can't get to the gym. Love it!!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Absolutely, Pat lovessss that stuff! He is ALWAYS ALWAYS up to some project!! Literally since I met him we have been doing projects :) !

[@IsaacMirandaVlogs]

Love how the guy explains everything so chill and smooth! Keep the vids coming!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Thanks! we have a diy plyo box coming out tomorrow!

[@burtonguy81]

Love the channel and these DIY projects been planning out a home DIY pulley system myself. I appreciate that you guys mentioned paying attention to the various load ratings to ensure safety. for background I have an extensive rope rescue and rigging back ground there is one thing you missed by redirecting the rope 180deg at the top you actually double the force at that point. So if you hang a 50lb weight off of it you actually create a 100lbs of force at the top something to keep in mind.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Thanks! we are also avid rock climber and I enjoy the rope work as much as I do the climbing. That is a really cool background!

[@jamaldowner]

I made a pulley system for doing lat pull downs over the weekend. It was cheap and works really well. Great video guys!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Awesome! Way to get the ideas in!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

sweet!

[@akzaleski78]

Thank you again for another awesome DIY video. After this pandemic is over I'm going to have a pretty sweet home gym built. I would like to me a suggestion, would it be possible to list all the items purchased in each of the future videos in the description section? I think this will help a lot of us be able to quickly print or jot down a list that we can bring with us to the store. Thank you again and please continue creating these very encouraging videos. Stay healthy and be safe.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We can 100% do that!! In the meantime, you can also send Pat an IG message @_patrickoconnell and he will help!!

[@elvinchacon1978]

Thanks for providing cost effective solutions for our home gym guys!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thanks for watching!

[@damienelliott4869]

Have you thought about using your floor mounts from your band workout with another pulley, carabeena and rope so you can use it as a low pulley as well.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

yes! we have been using that as a beast squat set up as well as for curls!! your on it!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Yes! We will show that soon, we had a 2nd pulley from all of our rock climbing days that Pat has been testing out!! It has been really fun to get creative!!

Seriously though. Kudos to you guys for posting all of this awesome content about how to do things during these troubling times. I have been watching the tutorials on crossfit movements. I have recently gotten into crossfit and it has helped a lot. One of my biggest issues is moving from single unders to double unders, but I will get there. Thanks again.

[@erikhendricks7909]

Thank you for sharing these different do it yourself projects. I didn't realize that some of these do it yourself projects could replicate what you see in a gym or different movements you would do in a gym. Great technique with the face pulls and the horizontal pulls using one of your do it your projects. I feel like I need some of these do it yourself projects at my home gym

You bet! And they are just like the globe gym!!

Hey - Great Channel. After watching this I made a set of the water tubes for my wife and I. One 4" diameter and one 3". Great to use on the Bosu ball too. Thanks !

[@jsullivan1082]

Nice. Inventive, cheap, and easy. Totally doing this.

Why wasn't the camera guy panning down to the gear on the floor? You could see they were both looking at him like 'dude are you gonna make me pick up all this crap one by one?'. Great video guys! Camera guy: get it together! Lol

[@felipeduque4620]

Excellent content guys👊🏼Thank you. My wife and I are exited to implement these diy ideas

[@TheAllAroundG]

I made a DIY bamboo/earthquake bar with a 3/4" oak dowel inside a 1" PVC pipe. Capped it. Marked it. Got some red bands and strung my Kettlebells on it. Great for rehab/prehab and burn out holds at the end of a session. Not sure what the full weight rating would be. I'm 175-180 and could put it in the j-cups and bounce up and down forcefully on it with no worries of it breaking.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Thats awesome!!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

I like it!! great idea

[@nathansmitty3591]

I made one of those pull systems too! I'm my son's PE coach during this covid19 stuff and he loves to pull a sand bag I have up to the top! It can work your grip to if you get a little bit thicker rope and just grap the bare rope and pull it to you like a row.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

nice! I like that idea!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

That is awesome!

Love the channel. I mix between home made, titan, rogue, yes 4 all, weider..... Before i bought a good plyo box i remember buying cynder blocks from home depot for 3 dollars each and i used liquid nail to stack them once i needed to create a higher step. total cost was under 20 bucks and it let me know if plyo was something i would use if i bought one.

Going to complete the pulley system this weekend.

[@janessanm]

I love the pulley system! I had seen some tutorials that were a little too complicated. We have a squat stand that I can do chinups on by putting the bar as high as possible, so I could probably anchor a pulley off that 🤔 cuz I'm definitely missing bro-ing out!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Noted!

[@DWHGWIHW]

Hey! So quick question...the heavy sand bag that Patrick is always using to do cleans with, is that DIY? If so, what did you use? I was thinking of buying a really big pair of jeans from Goodwill or something and using a leg of them. Another quick question, do you guys use Spotify? If so, I have some really good playlists you should checkout! One is all really good CF style Christian rap :D And thanks as always for the content!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

Hey! the one I use is from Strong fit, and the one kristi uses is from rogue! that seems like a really good idea! at least worth a shot, and thanks!!

[@amandasmall8980]

Can you leave a list of exactly what you need for the Pully System? Thanks. You guys are doing some cool stuff and I like that it is cost effective.

Just bought all stuff all the way from Malta Europe. We too cannot go to the gym so im excited to do this. Can you do how to make a sandbag pls

[@lithomps1]

How did you cut the pipe? I may have to cut it in the parking lot to fit it in my SUV!

[@patrickoconnell2380]

I have a special tool specifically for cutting it, but take your measurements into Lowes or Home Depot and they should be able to cut it for you!

[@robbaker-05n]

Hey going to try the water filled but thinking of half filling my other half with dry sand .. Would this work ?

[@patrickoconnell2380]

ya, you can also make it more challenging by filling more of it with water!

[@robbaker-05n]

patrick oconnell will do mate

[@travisnguyen4]

Just a curious thought would you be able to leave a loaded barbell (135 lbs) on the floor and loop the pulley system in a way where you could make it a bicep cable curl? Would this work with the anchor hooks you guys put on the floor as well?

[@patrickoconnell2380]

yes! we have actually been using the trap door hooks for just that! im sure it will pop but in a video soon!

[@ashleyketten4730]

What about making a plyo box?? I was just about to buy one before everything went crazy and now they are all out of stock.

[@patrickoconnell2380]

on the list!

[@d3adtube]

Would adding small rocks in the PVC pipe still work and increase the weight?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Yes it could!

[@millsks]

This is awesome. I'm going to try the slosh pipe. Quick question though. How do you refill the pipe if both ends are glued on? Would it also work with one threaded end so you could have a screw on cap on one end?

[@HSTLCulture]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell hey ty for answering! I found the vid and i tried it but seems the "magic button" technique suits me better but am falling like 10 cm short to get my torso over the bar and then extend. Guess ill have to hammer it more but grip tends to fail after a while of trying.

8:15 extra challenging is it of course that you have to dodge the weight that you're lifting, or if you like it rough, you can turn yourself into a punching bag.

[@tonygarcia8481]

Curious as to how y’all mounted those floor anchors I saw this morning on your IG feed doing the box step-ups. It looks like they’re screwed into the stall mat or is there also a plywood backing?
