  • Though it's not exactly a DIY smith machine, it gives off a lot of the same vibes. This project cost me less than $30 in materials and took less than 30 minutes to make.

    Love your videos/channel. I was close to making your seal row pad. But my table saw is buried also. So I just went with reps utility pad and love it. The removable pad is really nice

      Yeah? I actually had to choose between either keeping the nemesis bar or the Kadillac bar, and I sold the Kadillac bar. I like how the nemesis bar is lightweight, makes it more versatile

    Great job as usual! But the holy grail is integrating a full DIY smith machine into a rack, that would be pretty awesome (just pitching ideas here).

    I like it! Could this cause instability in the rack at higher weights especially at the bottom of the squat?

    Kyle, In one of the hack squat movements in the video I see you rounding your back somewhat. How does it feel on your back doing hack squats against the rack with a heavy load? My big reason for doing hack squats is to protect my back and put more emphasis on my quads. Thanks for exploring these low cost home gym solutions. I just don't have room for a hack squat machine in my small gym.

    • @KaizenDIYGym
      @KaizenDIYGym  Рік тому

      That’s the one thing about this vs a dedicated hack squat machine. There is no back support on this one.

    Where did you find the bar catches that fit the 3” x 3” jammer arms for the hack squat setup? All I can find similar to yours are by Body Solid but those are for 2” x 2” racks.

      UMHW or some other type of hard plastic. Rubber would have too much friction.
