Hiya /fit/ I'm going to build a squat rack today. Any good designs you have seen? Ease of assembly and not leading to my death would be ideal.
>not leading to my death would be ideal
I'm afraid no such thing exists

I would feel safer with one or two band clamps near the top.
>>37431316
Seems like a problem with those would be that there's not enough weight on the bottom.
I have pic related and they're hard to tip over if you have weight loaded on the bottom (they'll wobble a bit but not tip over... hasn't been an issue.)

>last heard screaming LIGHT WEIGHT BABY
I done got wood and beer
>>37431316
Just balance a barbell on two ladders
Id imagine to reinforce it...a lot. Like OP pic but with more base support
jesus christ why did I think it was a good idea to only have a hand saw

>drinking anything other than water/whey/BCAAs
>making it
choose one and only one, loser.

wtf they say 4-500lbs? howtf do they not specify? What if I want to squat somewhere between 4-500lbs???
>>37431316
hey op i found some useful blueprints for you
>>37433345
>scooby pls help me
>>37434004
those are not blueprints.
one: not on blue papaer (you think they're just called that for no reason, faggot?)
two: no dimensions
three: no construction instructions
result: total failure. use your squat rack on yourself.

>not drinking whatever the fuck you like and fitting it to your macros
NEVER GONNA MAKE IT
>>37434004
kek
>>37433900
Check the comments, maybe someone has tested it out? You could probably use more wood to make it even sturdier.

Here's your (you)
You're forcing the meme too hard.
Kill yourself.
Hey >>37436010, he is referencing >>37433345
>>37433900
he means 400-500 lbs
>>37431316
make the same as your pic but out of sleet and with a larger base or bolted to the floor
>>37436053
no shit u fucking idiot
>>37433900
God you're stupid
>>37431316
I used home made squat stands out in my backyard when the weather was nice instead of going to the gym a couple of years ago. They do the job, but learn to dump the bar by practicing with a weight you can handle.
Also, benching in such a set-up is really and truly stupid if you're pushing anything over 2 wheels for reps. Even less would be dangerous if you're skinny or weak.
WHEW had to run to home depot and get brackets. IT WORKS! Though the lateral stability is shit, gonna add some cross bars tomorrow. Not sure yet where to place it so it doesn't interfere
>>37437362
That's a fucking deathtrap Anon. Those brackets will not hold under significant load.
>>37431316
Here's mine
>>37437466
See that babby-weight? Racking anything over lmao1plate is ridiculously dangerous with this setup.
I know because I built these with the buckets of concrete at first as well. I quickly realized how shit it was, and I made a half rack with safeties out of wood instead.
I still ended up purchasing a steel power rack a year later.
You delusional fucks will either never get strong or you will outgrow this stupid shit within months like I did.
>>37437466
dangerous as fuck
