Build A Power Rack From Wood

Or if you did lift inside for bench it would be a reverse lift off.

Build a power rack from wood.

A power rack offers much needed variety to your workout because you can now lift heavy alone using the innovative safety bar setup. I routinely load up 200 on squats with no issues working out 3 times a week since the build. This homemade stand can be used for both squats and bench press. It really is not and the truth is most people are not going to be doing 500lb lifts and this could prob even handle that if it had too.

Jostle first off thanks for the detailed plans and pics. Wooden power rack july 23 2014 at 6 52 pm but then you couldn t lift bench inside the rack with the safety bars in place because you wouldn t be able to rack them on the back set of supports. For people serious about getting fit working all of the muscles groups in a challenging way is necessary in order to continue building muscle. Truth is i would have loved to buy a rogue squat stand or power rack but at 600 it was just not in the cards.

I built this rack last summer and it has held up very well. It only took one day to buy supplies 120 and build. The diy design costs less than 100 and includes detailed plans to frame it all together. Ok first off don t think that building a wooden power rack is crazy.

Often the body will plateau at some point once. For our needs the wood power rack works great. The design uses 2 x4 boards and takes just 2 hours to build.
