    Man, where was this a year ago when I was building out my home gym (which has consequently been sold to free up more shop space)?! Great work, man. Rogue plates are so slick. If those mats ever wear out, horse stall mats from Tractor Supply are perfect for lifting heavy.

    That's a lot of white paint! It is so satisfying to see it all painted the same color in high speed. That's a really nice setup you have built, and I love that it is so slim to the wall when in the "put away" position.

    @christianb3053 7 років тому +31

    Just wait until you get up to the real heavy weight. You'll miss a snatch and drop the weight straight onto your hardwood floor and send it to your neighbors downstairs

    Ben!!! I have been waiting for this video after seeing it on IG and hearing you talk about it on the podcast. Very cool design this is one of my favorite builds you have done bc it is such a small foot print that when opened is extremely versatile. Awesome work my friend. Hope the foot gets better.

  • @raraavis7782
    @raraavis7782 7 років тому

    That's really neat! Love the idea of incorporating a plattform for lifting right into the structure.
    Although personally I'm obsessed enough with lifting that I would just put everthing against a wall and call it 'decoration' 😎.
    Have fun with your workouts!

      @Gina-bl1mh 7 років тому +1

  • @TMFDK1294
    @TMFDK1294 7 років тому +5

    Love the concept. I wonder if there is anyway you could incorporate a rack for you to squat with. Perhaps something that folds out and allows you to rack the bar with the plates on it.

  • @nathanb2056
    @nathanb2056 7 років тому

    Great video showing an awesome way to save room. If you ever find that the matting is too soft for the weights, check out the matting that is used in horse stables. It's much heavier and should easily take constant use.

    You could easily add some peg slots and place in some moveable racks. Set one up for squats and some flat , incline, and decline bench. Then you have a more rounded gym in the same space

    Great project as usual and I just learned a cordless router was a thing, will definitely have to check it out!
    I'm curious about the brackets though; aren't they installed upside down from their original intended use? Wouldn't this affect their weight capacity?

    Love the idea! I have no equipment to take on this project. But I would love to have such a thing at home. I might show this to a pro carpenter to make this for me at home. Or wait and save for the equipment and start carpentering. Though I know it is not easy I would like to start this as a new hobby.

    Awesome concept, perfect for smaller living spaces. Be careful with the split jerks though, with a narrow platform like that, your back foot could easily come off the back side of the platform or land on the edge. The girl in the demo almost went off the back and guys typically have a wider stance.

    Great project. I would of used stall mats instead of the foam mats. In my experience the foam mats aren't as durable and the stall mats look better aesthetically to me.
