Hey guys im sick of going to x-sport and would love to train in my garage. Ive googled power rack plans but decided to post here 1st to see if any Powerlifter has built his own rack? Looking for some diagrams/plans/dimensions. Im looking to make a “good” rack that can be used for years. I appreciate the help and really appreciate it if you can provide me with pics.
Thanks alot!
This is a video I made showing my 2x4 squat rack with safety bars and dip handles. I have since moved and stripped it down so it doesn’t take up so much room, I also installed it directly into the wall which was a huge improvement. If you want some pics of that one just let me know.
Wicked design man. I love the homemade stuff! I would like to see you post a video of you squating out of it to see it in action.
Mark Rippetoe made an autoCAD drawing with a bill of material. Look it up on google, easy to find. It is also available in his book starting strength.

This page has a few articles on making your own equipment, including a rack. This site fucking legit. I think deepsquatter has a make your own rack article too. That’s another legit site.
Mark Rippetoe has blueprints for a power rack on his site. You’d need to hire a welder though I think.
