Awesome! i'm actually about to build a similar one. i see in the comments you've changed a few things. Can we get an update video? even shot on a phone like this one would be nice
Fantastic, just got the first leg of this setup done. To attach the pulleys to the squat bar I use a metal sleeve designed for a handle attachment to a squat bar that is used for lat rowing. Ether way, works great. Thank you!
For the price already invested may aswell get a titan or bells of Steel cable tower. They are very versatile and can attach and detach from rack or install to wall... ❤
Cable tower is just under $400 each if you want plate loaded ones; and this is the minimum already. You'll need enough space and potentially add in one more to do exercises like flies. Anchoring to one point of resistance for flies is only beneficial if you do one arm at a time - which the cable tower can't offer unless you purchase 2. So you're looking at $800ish. I think I'd rather spend what he did to make a poor man's version.
Funny, I actually just added plate storage pins to the rack for this very reason. Also paired it with a cable tower. I'll have to make an updated video.
Thank you. I recently upgraded my setup by putting the Bells of Steel Cable Tower in between my squat stands and the wall. Now it's super easy to adjust the setup. I'll have to make a new video showing it off.
2 on the top of the rack. 2 on the bottom of the uprights. 2 on the bottom in the middle (for closer grip stuff). You really only need 4 to cover your bases.

For sure. I should be able to get to it in the next week. Stay tuned. And thanks for watching.
Yooo this is what I needed!!! Thank you so much
Awesome. Stay tuned. I've got an update coming.
Niceee ima do this too , never thought about using the bar thanks for the idea !!
I have my moments. Hope it works for you! Thanks for watching.
Finally a set up that won’t cost as much as a cable tower or squat rack with cable attachments 👍🏽

Love stuff like this!

I'm with you. Way easier to setup and adjust too.

@@ssjayy-xs5lh It's good to have options. I've got the BOS cable tower coming next week. Gonna see if I can get creative with just the one unit.
Thank God this is genius. I needed an height adjustable pulley system, you can use rack playes holders instead of the barbell

Solid diy hack.
This was crazy helpful. Thanks
Glad it helped!
Nice idea! To stop the plates from swinging attach a small dog leash chain to the bottom of the pins. That'll steady them a bit.
Might not be ‘as great’ but still very functional! Bravo Zulu

Good job pal
Good work.
Nice, how many pulleys overall did you get?
2 on the top of the rack. 2 on the bottom of the uprights. 2 on the bottom in the middle (for closer grip stuff). You really only need 4 to cover your bases.
@@HORNSTRENGTH Thanks!! Thinking of making a similar system like yours but with spotter arms.
Which size are you using for chest flies?
Sweet meal deal 👊
I stopped mine from popping out of the pulley with a cable tie. Even after dropping. Just make sure it’s nice and tight and not in the way.
That's interesting. Can you explain where you put the cable tie? I'm trying to visualize it.
@@HORNSTRENGTH I have it wrapped around the top of the n shaped bracket holding the wheel, and pushed down to prevent the cable from escaping.
This is fucking genius!
I don't know about "genius," but I'm glad you like the idea. 💪🏻
smart man gave me a few ideas
