Funny, I was going to route the edges of mine when I made it, good thing I wasnt alone in that. Thanks for droppin the plans. Cool to know what we were essentially lifting at HGC. Still waiting on decent weather up here. Been pretty much in the upper 30s since I saw ya. 😭
It looks like the upright boards at the base are angled slightly outward. This might be why you had a hard time installing the base pin. If you assist in making another, you could try attaching the uprights to the beam with the base pin first, then attaching the to the baseboard and installing the supporting boards. You might be able to then remove the pin, add the screws into the supporting boards, and reinstall the pin easier. I hope that makes sense. I plan on building one myself so please don't take this as hate. Love the video and thank you for showing us how to build this!
I kinda love this. think using a thinner steel pipe for the lever would make it even more versatile. essentially it would be a landmine machine with extra attachment points.
It's so funny and entertaining to see gym bro doing carpentry. Good job on the final product! Got 10/10 on the result but I can't give you more than 2/10 for the process lol! Next time you have a hard time putting a bolt like that in. Take the bit/key that you will use to tighten the bolt and screw the bolt as you hammer it down. It take longer than brute forcing but you will get there without hassle. Next tip. Never assemble something in the grass. Should have switched work place. Cut and drill in the grass ( don't worry about the wood chip it's perfectly ok to leave them as it it will decompose and dig in at the first rainfall. And you would not have loose any part of the drill guide. Ask me how I know. I am a mechanic too and lost so much time over the years with a bolt that fly over or get kicked somewhere.. Gonna build mine with 4x4 instead of 6x6 but I will drill in 2 iron L peices on top so it don't bend. It will be more compact and I can make it in pieces for transport if I want to that way! Anyway thanks for the video guys!
For anyone who wants to get the exact weight they are lifting I derived this formula. W=D*Q + L + L*D/(D-X) - {Q*(D - 2X)*[([D + 2X]/2)-X]}/(D-X)... Where W = weight experienced, D = length of beam , Q = weight of beam/length of beam, L = Load at the end of beam, and X = Distance of lift point from weight. If you want to ignore the distributed load of the beam simply remove "{Q*(D - 2X)*[([D + 2X]/2)-X]}/(D-X)" from the calculation.
Wouldn't M1*L1 + M2*L2 = M3*L3 just apply? M being mass and L being length between the point of rotation and the application point of the force. 1 would be the weight plate, 2 would be the mass of the beam and 3 would be the lifting point. I threw it in excel real quick with some guessed numbers and it seems to work.
This is really cool. Depending on the total length, and the eye bolt locations, you could put on a single 45lbs plate, and lift 450lbs (or more) If that ain't saving a buttload of time and money, I don't know what it is.
I love it and it seems easy enough for me to build on my weekend home. I have just 1 question- how can i leave it outside and not let the metal parts rust easily. Cheers from Serbia!
I bet a timber pole would work even better since then you could also do press exercises, plus your thighs would thank you. I know for a fact it would be a bitch and a half to get that sucker centered though.
@KaizenDIYGym Maybe I'm late on this, but would a nylon strap that can slide along the whole length work, too? No need for fidgeting with a caribiner in between position shifts, just slide and GUN IT.
some guy in the woods is pretty happy deadlifting right now
👏👏👏 Complimenti, questo non potrà mancare nel mio giardino, lavoro n°2, grazie per i tuoi lavori🛠👍un saluto e Buone Feste🎄🎉🎊🎍😉
I had a blast making this with you and @nicelikemike482 ! 💪💪💪
So much fun bro! Hopefully the first of many collabs together
@@KaizenDIYGym Sign me up, Brother! 🤘
How far a part did you put i hooks?
Glad your back to your build videos. Appreciate you going the distance to see what the weight is
Yes! I miss the build videos as well. They’re just expensive to make and much more time consuming but I haven’t abandoned them
Really nice. The simpliest stuff often makes most of the fun.
It is wild how much I enjoy using this thing!

Dang bro that’s chilly! I’m looking forward to seeing yours! I have been working on making DIY versions of the handles Kurt let us use.
Lovely dog there! ❤
Awesome. Outdoor workouts are great.
So much fun!

I’d love to see how your version turns out!

So funny to be called a gym bro. I’ve been woodworking much longer than I’ve had a home gym.
Thanks for the feedback! Good luck on your build!
The video I been waiting for 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome bro! I hope you enjoy it!
Good times, brochacho!!
Best weekend ever!
Genius
Glad you like it bro!
@KaizenDIYGym hell yeah... you are a great find... 👍 keep going. From the UK 🇬🇧

Would that work the same if pushing over head instead pulling. Assuming the plank starts horizontal too
I was thinking the same thing and stuff
Is X in inches?

@@nedwhittle6763 yes
Danke für das Video
Always!
Have you ever seen this made with 4x4? I wonder what the break strength variation would be?? Awesome video and idea!
Yes, the first one I ever saw was made with a 4x4
I was thinking 4x4 to keep from hitting the inside of the thighs.
Wow. Never heard of it
Yeah, same here! I only learned about it recently
you can also make a chest supported row machine out of this, a finnish company sells these made of steel, for outdoor use
This is really cool. Depending on the total length, and the eye bolt locations, you could put on a single 45lbs plate, and lift 450lbs (or more) If that ain't saving a buttload of time and money, I don't know what it is.
Yes, it is a super efficient way to achieve progressive overload with minimal weight
Great diy idea… got any links for the plate holders?
🔥🔥🔥
This is so cool, is there some way to give it some play side to side to use it more like a landmine or just take some stabilization away?
I love it and it seems easy enough for me to build on my weekend home. I have just 1 question- how can i leave it outside and not let the metal parts rust easily. Cheers from Serbia!
You can add paint to the metal parts or use galvanized metal
What is the length of your lever and what do you think is the minimum recommended lenght?
I listed all the materials in the description of the video. Mine is 12ft but you can really do whatever length you want.
Can I use 2 or 3 3x1 stacked and maybe glued to make 3x3 or 4x4? Will it work or it's it just better going for 2x2?
You can stack and glue to create a 4x4, it just won’t have the same weight capacity as a 6x6.
looking for that missing piece is a pain everyone has felt
Who Woulda thunk that the heaviest weight would be there with no wait on them
Physics!
Where's the links to the different handles and grips?
They’re from www.armassassinstrengthshop.com/password
Where can you purchase those handles for different grips?
www.armassassinstrengthshop.com
Can I use a 4x4 instead of 6x6?
For sure!
Just a question does this work the same as t bar row?
You can do t-bar rows with this, the functionality is similar
How long is that 6x6 ?
12ft
Lift the rear end to just bellow hips or at least knee level. Try it that way and thank me later. :D
I bet a timber pole would work even better since then you could also do press exercises, plus your thighs would thank you. I know for a fact it would be a bitch and a half to get that sucker centered though.
Perfect size for a basement home gym
That’s definitely an option
@KaizenDIYGym Maybe I'm late on this, but would a nylon strap that can slide along the whole length work, too? No need for fidgeting with a caribiner in between position shifts, just slide and GUN IT.
Shallow notches on the underside for the strap to fit into would make this idea perfect...
