They're pretty sweet. A little wobbly though, and our patio isn't all that level. I'll use them for squats and presses from time to time I think. The 1-1/4" dowels I had been planning on using for pegs ended up failing my QA (slamming 95lbs on the pegs repeatedly). Gonna upgrade to steel pipe. But overall a succcess I say: $30 + 3 hours.
Ingredients:
-160lb concrete
-12' pressure treated 4x4
-two 5-gallon buckets
-1-1/4" dowel rod pegs
-6 pouches Grizzly Wintergreen
also...i am digging front squats. lit up my quads with like 8 sets today. I'm going to incorporate way more of these now when I need to give my hip a break.
ReplyDeleteFront squats are in my fav five. Try steel bolts. That's what they screw into the 2xwhatevers at District Crossfit to hang the bars. Though I guess those are only holding 45lb at a time so maybe piping will be better. Also your next project should be to make jerk boxes.
