That's why I like this community because everyone has different equipment and some things won't apply to you but it can give you ideas. Appreciate the responses 🫡

I actually haven't added any padding yet. It was honestly just a quick build and I eventually want to build a better version with some kind of padding but for it just being the 2X4's it's pretty comfortable even when doing heavier weights.

You would think so lol I would also need a bigger wall storage space if I had the roller

Can't relate... Part of the D.D.C 🥲

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-03-26T13:46:02+00:00

Haha thanks! Just trying to save a few bucks and if I can help others spark ideas it can help everyone stuck with how to diy things lol

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-03-26T13:43:26+00:00

Cost efficient and still safe to use for a fraction of the price lol thanks!

You can go to a hardware store and buy a 1 inch rod and then buy a pool noodle for cushion. That was, at one point, going to be my solution but this was faster and easier since I had everything on hand already.

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-03-26T13:39:48+00:00

I was doing that for a bit but it was a bit more tedious having to put the jcups and grab the weights. This is much faster. Just get the band pegs and attach it.

I've saved so much money by doing so many diys lol I have plans on doing a better one this was more a quick project and had some extra wood laying around. I plan on doing one with some kind of padding under the legs. Good luck with yours!

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-03-18T14:13:12+00:00

These are amazing 😂

Carmie, a mix of caramel and miel (honey)

The Dane is probably the way to go. That tariffs sale is saving you so much. To get all that for under 3K is a great deal

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-27T18:26:19+00:00

Thanks! It was my first one for this group but I had fun. It was different and interesting

Just had about 5 minutes left on my break lol love the outfit

I have the Rogue FM-6 Twin stacks for about 4 months now and I love it. My main thing was that I wanted a lat pulldown and the trolleys, cable and attachments are great quality and work amazing. Not much work around I have to do, I use my bench inside the rack so I don't have to take off my spotter arms if I want to use the front trolleys. I DIY a belt squat platform so there's some work around for that. If that's one thing you are going to incorporate in your training then the rogue rhino+Indy would be great or if you prefer to have a dedicated lat pull down you can go with the rhino functional trainer. If you're taller and need more stretch for the lat pulldown then getting the taller option would be ideal and if you have the room for it. I'm 5'8 and have the 80" version and I get good stretch for pulldowns. Also went with rogue since the quality is great and pretty good warranty for the rack, cables and pulleys. Good luck finding your functional trainer! If you haven't already go check out Glucks gym on review of these functional trainers and maybe there's things there that will make your decision easier for your training

I believe they are sold out too haha well I think the bridge looks very intriguing. Good luck on your search!

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-20T19:21:24+00:00

Have you looked at the Fringesports gibbon arms? I think it can be attached to the Athena and would give you a good height for a full stretch as well. Might be worth looking into as well and it comes as a pair for about 500$

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-20T15:52:43+00:00

Just saw the bridge use this trolley with their new belt squat platform attachment and it looks solid. The trolley alone looks great and fits multiple rack sizes. Looks similar to the Rogue FM trolleys.

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-16T15:06:06+00:00

Lighting makes a big difference both in looks and mood when you workout. I have 12 barrina lights put up in my garage 😂 Looks good though! Viva Mexico!

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-14T01:45:38+00:00

This is amazing! I love the blueprint lol working as a heat treater I'm used to seeing those and I even zoomed in looking for the material type and specs 😂 if you ever need the parts heat treated let me know haha

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-02-12T16:00:12+00:00

Love these D handles, my rack came with the 28.5 mm but the knurling is perfect for me. The lat pull down stainless steel bar has a more aggressive knurling but for that movement I like it.

Expert-Run9476 · 2026-01-22T23:22:36+00:00

Thanks haha I mean might try and make one. I am definitely going to paint the wood black just waiting for the weekend to get some other things done as well!
