homemade squat rack

[crazydan]

what I did is just take two horses and use that as a squat rack. does anyone else do anything different?

Get a really fat girlfriend, and have her sit on your shoulders.

THEN SQUAT

As you get stronger, break-up with her and get an even fatter girlfriend. Have her sit on your shoulders.

THEN SQUAT

Keep getting fatter and fatter girlfriends. Or, get your current girlfriend fatter. :D

On a more serious note,

what is a scaffholder , how much do you think this project could cost?

what equipment do you need?


dammit it would be nice to own a power rack!!

Scaffolding is the structures used by painters and other maintenance types to work on walls, ceilings, etc. It is a structure made of pipe and boards.

No idea what it would cost. It would depend on how much piping is locally. In my case, we bought our rack from New York Barbell. $300, S&H included to the Continental US. Obviously not useful for folks outside the US like you Koltz.

I like the idea of scaffolding. It has to be WAY cheaper than the obscene cost for shipping a rack to where you are. And less expensive than having someone weld one together for you. I'd give it a shot. Go to a contractor supply company, builder's yard, or whatever, and price it.

[koltz]

the only stores that have racks price them at about 2200-2400NIS which is about 600$

I won't put scaffolding in my room since I live in an apartment (it's not a dungeon) and I still need to buy a barbell

but I would like to know how to build one never the less , maybe find some basement with some pals , build a hardcore hangout there

[Moonduck]

build a hardcore hangout there

Pretty much like what I am putting together here.

[koltz]

It's a "work in progress" bro, just like me.
