    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Hi all, first post here but have been watching for a while. I thought I would share some pics of my home made rack,

I'm not able to add attachments or more likely don't know how, so Ive put them on photobucket.

I like seeing stuff like this, it's quality mate! You're obviously a pretty skilled bloke to be able to make this, and it looks pretty solid-what's the heaviest weight you've had up on there?

Nice work Dan.

Thanks for the compliment, for squats Im up to 80kg/176lb and the chin up and dip bars hold me no worries at 90kg. There are enough welds to hold my goal of 1.5bw squats.

My father in law had the steel left over from a job he did so it cost me nothing.

Nice set up Dan.

Looks like you forgot to take some of the packaging off your Oly bar though :shock:
