Wirk in progress! My latest project….These utility blocks will have alot uses. But their primary purpose will involve a third “secret” component that I will build tomorrow. It will make free-weight belt squats much easier and safer to execute.

This is not the final paint job…and will finish that and add some scrap Hose Stall mats to the tops of these Tomorrow.

YouTube tutorial coming soon!

🤘Facebook Marketplace Score! SWIPE to see what I paid! 🤑

🪵🪚This past weekend I was about 20% done building/filming a DIY powerblock dumbbell rack for my newly acquired …

😘Then I saw this rack on Marketplace…for a great price….and in fantastic condition! Perhaps considered “vintage “?

♻️The portion that I completed for the DIY dumbbell rack can be repurposed for another DIY project…so nothing will go to waste.

🎳It really ties the room together, dude!

🎥These dumbbells and the rack will likely be making an appearance in an upcoming YouTube video!

👀Swipe to see what I paid (picture 6)!!

🛒Just snagged these BRAND NEW on ! 5-50 LBS! Great deal!

🤔Not sure if I will become a convert (Currently a Pro Style Dumbbell Fan), but if I do end up liking these a lot, I will buy the expansion packs to get them up to 90 LBS and maybe a set of .equipped Knurled Handles. 🤘

📏Photo 5 is to show you the length of these at the full 50 LBS configuration compared to my 50 LBS Pro Style Dumbbells.

🪚Yes - a DIY Powerblocks stand will definitely be an upcoming project!

Review for the Smart Elliptical dropping via YouTube on April 29, 2023….

You: But you don’t do reviews…
Me: I do now…🤘

I found that doing a product review is much different than doing a DIY tutorial video. Each has its own challenges, and each is satisfying in its own way. I enjoyed the process and will likely be doing more in the future…

was awesome! I was so engaged with what was going on that I barely took any photos….in fact these 4 photos are the only photos I have.

Photo 1: I arrived at the same time as si I got to chat him up before anyone else. What an awesome dude!

Photo 2: My buddy and I finally got to meet in person! We had a great putting together a DIY “Timber lever” with

Photos 3-4: The crowd. What an awesome group of people! Very cool folks from all over came to attend.

I was able to try out a ton of equipment abd met some really cool people!

I wish I would have taken more photos/video but I am glad that was so engaged with “the present” that it was not a priority….

Big thanks to and the support team and everybody else who I am forgetting for putting this conference together. I will definitely be back next year!

🤘Next week’s YouTube Video Sneak Peek: “Cage Press” Barbell Hack.

Inspired by the late, great - my attempt to perform “Cage Presses” left my rack and barbell scratched up… so next week (on April 15) My next YouTube video will drop - where I will show you how to use PVC pipe create a “cover” that will remove friction from the movement as well as protect your equipment!

I was asked how to mount my DIY Leg Rollers “laterally” for those of us with racks that have holes only on the front/back of our uprights.

I have fantastic solution that will be coming out soon - but in the meantime try this… these wooden blocks are the “mounting brackets” for my “Omega Arms”… (See episode 2 of my Omega Arms Youtube Series to learn how to make them).

I mount these brackets to my rack using 6” long 1/2” plumbing ni**les…through holes made with a 7/8” Spade bit.

To connect the leg roller to the mounting bracket, I insert the Leg roller’s 24” long 3/4” Plumbing ni**le through the hole on the sides of the mounting bracket (made with a 1 1/8” Spade bit).

🪵My router setup.

I got a question about my router setup. So here are some pictures…

🤘Just drilled a 2” hole (with a Forstner bit) through some plywood (for the router bit to stick through) then countersunk holes in the plywood (holes lined up with the router’s mounting holes)…. Then mount the router to the plywood…And thats it. I clamp the plywood to my table saw. For a fence I just use a straight edge clamp.

😌If I were making fine furniture I would buy a router table, but for making DIY Gym Equipment- this setup is sufficient.

Got sick of always rigging something up on the power rack to do dips. So… This dip station I got tonight from will do the trick nicely.

This thing is built like a tank- and fits nicely in the corner of the gym.

The guy selling it had an incredible home gym- and just needed more space. Good guy.

Seeing as how I am the only “home gym guy” in my social circle - It was nice to meet another local home gym community member!

Makes me even more excited to meet face to face with other members of the home gym community at in April!
