I went wandering down the aisles today...

2" fat bar - 1 7' Fence Post - $17.57
2" fat bar dumbells - 1 6' Fence Post 15.96
FatGrippz - 1 6' pieces of foam pipe insulation 2.19

inside collars can be found in the plumbing section for 8$ (I'll probably cut them in half :)

Pillars of Power - 4 saw horse brackets - $9.90
Jumpstretch Band Platform - 2 Trapdoor pulls for my platform - $11.96
8 foot power rack - 10 - 10' 4x4 and angle iron - ~$150

I saw a couple of nice carabiners for my chains as well. 4.86 each.

I'd like to find a place to buy cold rolled steel for 2" and 1" bars but the pipe is awfully cheap.

7' of 2" cold rolled steel could end up costing $80 but it might be fun to splurge.

Have fun with that.

pass.

I've thought of doing this myself. would be fun to build the rack at least.

Any updates? Did you build anything? Pics?

I wish I knew how to weld, cut metal, etc... I'd build myself a dip station/leg raise/chin up bar.

Still just a shopping list. The fat bar will be coming home shortly though. I need to improve my grip for my deadlift.
